add IncludeComps in iAccess

Currently you can only specify options to exclude in IBM i ACS using
com.ibm.iaccess.ExcludeComps=......

As IBM is providing more and more options these would be automatically be made available once a client updates the version (like latest enhancements for IFS access).

We would like to have the possibility to just allow access to a certain option using the opposite approach by having an option like com.ibm.iaccess.IncludeComps

So only options mentioned here would be available for our clients - no matter what new options are made available.


Use Case:

Currently if I just want to make 5250 emulator available I have to specify
com.ibm.iaccess.ExcludeComps=DATAXFER,RMTCMD,KEYMAN,SPLF,OPCONSOLE,HWCONSOLE,L1CPLUGIN,DATABASE,DEBUGGER,IFS

whereas - using my approach :
com.ibm.iaccess.IncludeComps=EMULATOR
