iACS OpenSource Pkg Mgt Port <>22

Allow iACS client Open Source package management to use ssh port different than 22.


Use Case:

For security reasons we changed sshd port from 22 to a different port to reduce scanning from the internet (public system).

    An option will be provided to override the default SSH port when connecting to the selected system. From the main GUI, select System Configurations, select and Edit a system, select the Connection tab. There will be an option to change the SSH port. The port selected will apply to all SSH connections for the selected system including Open Source Package Management.

    This is planned for our April 2020 update.

    No matter which port should be open to the internet... I would recommend using a VPN.
