Viewing session information

The Session Info window provides useful information and a graphical representation of certificate status (green and red icons).

1. To view session information, do one of the following:
   • Click the Session Info icon () in the row of icons at the top of the page.
   • Right-click the station name in the Nav tree and click Session Info.
   The system displays one of two Session Info windows:

   1. The Session Info message that indicates that you have made a secure connection.

      • For the Server identity section (1), a red shield with a white X indicates that the client is unable to verify the authenticity of the Fox host. There are multiple reasons why this host may not be authentic.
        
        
      • A green shield with a white check mark indicates that a root CA certificate in the client’s System or User Trust Store was able to validate the signature on the server certificate, verifying the authenticity of the Fox host.
        
        
      • For the Connection encryption section (2), a red shield with a white X indicates that the Fox session connection is not sufficiently encrypted.
      • A green shield with a white check mark indicates that the Fox session connection is sufficiently encrypted.

      Communication is the most secure when both shields are green.

   2. The Session Info message indicates that you have made a regular connection (a connection that is not secure). Communication is the least secure when both shields are red.
      
      
2. Click the Certificate Information link.
   The system displays the details of the Fox server certificate.
