It depends... Assuming linux (this being LAU) there are three
posibilities:
jackd1
jackd2 with a2jmidid
alsa

I can only speak from experience with jackd2+a2jmidi.
First there are settings to turn midi clock or midi tc on in preferences.
When I moved to Ardour5 I started with a clean ~/.config/ardour5/
directory not bringing in any settings from Ardour4. And these are turned
off by default (I didn't turn them off).
Second, when I do turn them on, no connections show up.
Third, What midi autoconnection I have dealt with when adding midi
channels has not been correct. I have been using a controller (mackie
style) and the midi channels just go through all midi inputs it can find
and uses them sequencially.
So the first channel gets Midi Through (bad),
the second gets Ensoniq AudioPCI (good),
The third gets the surface midi (bad)
Ardour does not know which midi ports to use for what. All of the above
ports are marked Terminal|Hardware so Ardour assumes they are valid midi
sources for midi tracks.

However, once things are connected as they should be, those connections
are remembered for next session load as well as new sessions (except for
the channel connections unless you use a template)
