1/6/2010

This function requests that the existing connection with the peer device be authenticated.

Note

To preserve Win32 compatibility, consider using the Winsock equivalent of this function. To do so, pass SO_BTH_AUTHENTICATE as the optname value in setsockopt.

int BthAuthenticate(
  BT_ADDR* pba
);

Parameters

  • pba
    [in] Pointer to the Bluetooth address of the peer device.

This function returns ERROR_SUCCESS when it completes successfully.

A return value of ERROR_SERVICE_NOT_ACTIVE indicates that the hardware is not inserted or that the Bluetooth stack is not present.

A return value of ERROR_NOT_FOUND indicates that an active ACL connection to the peer that is specified by the Bluetooth address does not exist.

Other standard error codes may be returned as appropriate.

To manage security settings for the connections that the device makes, use the Bluetooth Winsock API. For more information, see Winsock Extensions.
