Determining VT Connection Security

Determining VT Connection Security

The Operator Information Area (OIA) of the session window can help determine if the VT connection is secure.

To determine if your VT connection is secure:

1. On the Options menu, click Session Properties. The Session Profile dialog box opens.
2. Expand the Display folder and click the General category.
3. In the Status Line Mode list, select one of the following items:
4. • Terminal Style Status Line
   • Windows Style Status Bar
4. Click OK.
5. Look at the setting displayed in the OIA of the session window after the connection has been established. If you selected Terminal Style Status Line and the connection is secure, a key icon appears in the bottom left-hand corner. If you selected Windows Style Status Bar and the connection is secure, a lock icon appears at the bottom left-hand corner of the session window.
