Description

We connect to servers of customers to support an application. After about 30 minutes of inactivity the session disconnects due to SSH configuration on the remote host. As we don't have root access most of the time we cannot change this behavior on the remote server.

On client-side it is possible to use the option "ServerAliveInterval" with a "normal" SSH client to send every x seconds a "alive" packet. It would be very helpful to implement this in Guacamole in case you don't have access to change this on server-side.
