  2. Expand the Session Window folder and click the General category.
  3. In the Window Title box, type %e which indicates the encryption status.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Look at the title of the session window. If the connection is secure, “Encrypted” appears in the window title. If the connection is not secure, “Not Encrypted” appears in the window title.
