Remarks

The authentication setting controls whether the local device is required to authenticate at the remote device when setting up the connection. The authentication occurs between the request for, or acceptance of, a connection and the completion of connection setup.

Authentication setting is not persistent. It reverts to the default setting when the adapter is reinitialized. For example, when the adapter is reinserted or the device is powered down.

For more information, see "Write Authentication Enable" in the Core Specification v2.1 + EDR on the Bluetooth web site.
