WCL Demo - SilentAuth

[Mike Petrichenko]

Checked Thsiba 9. It looks like there is a bug in Toshiba 9 stack and it always requires authentication. Change Authentication = true; in client and server demos. Should work with such settings. Or switch to toshiba 8.

Solution works only partially

Firstly, I changed Authentication = true and hardcoded PIN both on server and client side. When I tried to connect

Device A (Toshiba stack / Win7)  [Client]  --->  [Server]   Device B (Microsoft stack / Win8).

Yes! It works, device has been paried and data sent. But in reversed configuration 

Device B (Microsoft stack / Win8) [Client]  --->  [Server]  Device A (Toshiba stack / Win7) 

It not works silently. Toshiba security bluetooth still prompts for PIN
Checked for Toshiba 8, and newest 9.1

I attach modifed demo source code of Chat/Server used for my tests.

Hello,

I tryed to reproduces the issu all the day today and it looks like a problem appears only with 64 build. Try to check 32 bit build on your side as well. I will keep working on this and let you know result in a couple of days.

I compiled with platform targer x86. I referenced WCL\build\x32\45\wcl.dll Still not works for Toshiba.
I tested chat for two machines with Win8 / baMicrosoft. It works great. Device connected even without pairing.

We have found workaround for this issue and adding it in WCL. The fix will be available soon.

[smalinowski]

Would you like to tell when this fix is supposed to be available?

[Mike Petrichenko]

Hello,

Should be in a couple of weeks. It's something with one undocumented function we use to handle Toshiba Auth requests for server side. We use undocumented features because documented API does not provide any metods for server auth.

[Mike Petrichenko]

Hello,

It looks we finally fixed the problem. Please, try this attached version.

I referenced new wcl.dll to my modified Chat source.

For configuration  Device B (Microsoft stack / Win8) [Client]  --->  [Server]  Device A (Toshiba stack / Win7) 
when I click connect on client Device B then server app on Device A crashes (stops working...). I tried to catch exception on event handlers but It not helps. Propably exception is thrown from diffrent thread... I attached windows error log and mem dump.

Please download released version (6.14.4) from btframework.com. The A/V has already been fixed in that version.

[smalinowski]

Yes, it works!

If I need features like auto-pairing and server-client communication what licence should I buy? Personal is ok?

[Mike Petrichenko]

Hello,

If you need server features then you need Developer. If just simple pairing (without server features supporn in WCL) then personal is enough.

[smalinowski]

It is possible to send data through BT between two devices without server-feature?
If I buy Personal licence it is possible to upgrade to Developer?
