Have iACS store the SSH port which is retrieved from service table

iACS 1.1.8.4 now can retrieve sshd (and other ports) when verify connection; e.g. when you have changed sshd port from 22 to something different and used WRKSRVTBLE to reflect this change.
Now iACS should take this port into the connection tab to SSH connection port :)


Use Case:

ease of setup in case the default ports have been changed.

    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a MEDIUM priority requirement that should be addressed. This RFE will simplify the configuration of the ACS client with regards to SSH.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT

    IBM has received this requirement and is evaluating it. A response will be provided when evaluation is complete.
