What is the correct way to set device pairable / not pairable?

[Pierre Landau]

I'm building something based on ble_app_gls. However, I only want it to be pairable when I say so (user presses a button to put it into that mode). Is there a "correct" way to do this? Should I intercept the pairing request event and reject it if we're not supposed to be pairable, or does there exist something like in BT Classic where you can be connectable but not discoverable for pairing purposes?

Hi Pierre,

Do you use peer_manager or not ? If you don't use peer manager you can have a look here.

You can reject pairing by calling sd_ble_gap_sec_params_reply() with BLE_GAP_SEC_STATUS_PAIRING_NOT_SUPP status code when you receive SEC_PARAMS_REQUEST event.
