CONFIG_BT_SCAN_WITH_IDENTITY

Perform active scanning using local identity address

Type: bool

Help

Enable this if you want to perform active scanning using the local
identity address as the scanner address. By default the stack will
always use a non-resolvable private address (NRPA) in order to avoid
disclosing local identity information. By not scanning with the
identity address the scanner will receive directed advertise reports
for for the local identity. If this use case is required, then enable
this option.

Direct dependencies

!BT_PRIVACY && (BT_CENTRAL || BT_OBSERVER) && BT_HCI_HOST && BT_HCI && BT

(Includes any dependencies from ifs and menus.)
