That's interesting... I can't get the SSH connection to work with RDi (for Debug). The SSL/TLS connection works fine for us with both ACS and RDi connections.

I'm consistently having trouble with RDI staying connected to one of
our IBM I systems. I can open the connection to the system and use
it, but if it sits for very long at all it loses connection and I
have to restart RDI. We were having this problem on our other IBM I
system and I adjusted the "keep alive" parameter in the TCP settings
and that seemed to fix it.

What kind of connection do you use? Are you local or remote via VPN?

I have had problems in the past where my RDi connection via VPN would
drop for some reason.

Oddly enough, I started using a SSH tunnel to connect to the i and the
disconnect problems went away.
