This thread seems to be slightly different than mine, at least at first
glance.  My issue is that I can connect to the console and it works fine
for a while, but if it sits idle for "too long" then it stops working
(where "too long" seems to vary a bit -- another trial today lasted only
20 minutes).

I only tried with the admin portal.  I just now tried the user portal
but something seems to be broken -- when I log in to the user portal
with my admin at internal credentials I don't see any of my VMs!  I know I
tried this at the onset with 4.0.4, but I haven't tried it recently
since I upgraded to 4.0.5.  Not sure what's going on there.

I just tried logging in with another user and I see the authorized VMs.
So there's something about admin at internal and the user portal in 4.0.5
that's causing me issues.

I just tested from my user account.  I opened a console to a VM and let
it sit idle.  After 15 minutes the first connection closed (the same as
the admin portal).  The second connection closed after about 70 minutes
at which point the console became unusable.  This implies to me that
user vs admin portal does not affect the console becoming unusable after
some period of idle time, after which the second of four connections
drops.

Is there anything else you'd like me to test?
