In IBM Web Administration for i, when configuring TLS, automatically generate and display the next available TLS port.

This would be very helpful for anyone trying to configure TLS for IWS. It is necessary to apply a unique port that is available. Determining an available port is very difficult for an IBM i admin user to do. The current process is to use NETSTAT or a query to determine currently in-use ports, and then just to pick a port that isn't listed and hope it really is available and not just inactive at that time. Accidentally applying a port that is used by another process here could cause issues.

    This request appears to be for IBM Web Administration for i. Unfortunately I am unable to transfer the request to the IBM i team for their consideration. To request an enhancement to IBM i this portal can be used: https://ibm-power-systems.ideas.ibm.com/
