PAM uses different encryption for each connection type, for e.g. SSH connection. PAM Client to Server connection.
You can find the encryption type used in a PAM Client connection to PAM Server using the following command:
openssl s_client -connect <pamserver>:443
Note you need openssl installed on your machine.
It shows you the certificate being used and also protocol, cipher strength.
You can also copy and paste the certificate into a Notepad file and name it to mycert.cer, double click this file to see the certificate info in graphic form.
