Check Banner Text of SSH session

I’m in a situation where I need to check the banner text of an SSH session. When we log in via iTest it goes right to the prompt. I can’t see a way to get the banner text and/or get iTest to prompt for the username and password. This works with Putty. Any ideas?

iTest session profile ssh

Try disabling capture cleanup on the open step ![Capture Cleanup Option][1] This should result in this kind of output ![Capture Cleanup Results][2] [1]: /storage/temp/4012-capturecleanup.png [2]: /storage/temp/4013-capturecleanupresults.png

Unfortunately no. They need to test that the banner comes up and looks correct.
