A method of controlling a wireless docking station, which has one or more peripheral devices connected thereto, which are controllable from a mobile device when the mobile device is docked with the wireless docking station. The method involves receiving (S41) a sensing signal indicating that a user is proximate the peripheral device(s) and detecting (S42) that a mobile device is within a predetermined range of the wireless docking station. An identification of the mobile device is determined and the user is requested (S43) to confirm that the user wants to dock the mobile device having the identification with the wireless docking station. When a confirmation signal (S44) is received, an authentication of the mobile device having the identification is permitted to be performed whereby the mobile device having the identification is docked (S47) with the wireless docking station if the authentication is successful.
