You can find that under Preferences => CSS Core => EPICS. I suspect the pure Java implementation of JCA doesn't have the ability to make TCP-only connections (added to Base in 3.14.12) which is required to tunnel CA over ssh. It should be possible to fix that by switching to JNI as long as the native libraries it uses are from Base-3.14.12 or later. Unfortunately I also suspect the CSS distributions have not updated those Base libraries recently, so you might have some difficulties with this unless you build your own package.
You're correct, pure Java, with properties supplied by Kay, didn't work.Using base 3.4.12, switched to JNI .. seems to pick up EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST etc - Nice, but still doesn't work.
