My company has very strict firewall policies. Is the a way I can change the port number in the zowe.config.json in the code below given to me for the **Learning COBOL Programming with VSCode**

{  
“$schema”: “./zowe.schema.json”,  
“profiles”: {  
“LearnCOBOL”: {  
“properties”: {  
“host”: “192.86.32.250”  
},  
“profiles”: {  
“zosmf”: {  
“type”: “zosmf”,  
“properties”: {  
“port”: 10443  
}  
}  
},  
“secure”: [  
“user”,  
“password”  
]  
},  
“base”: {  
“type”: “base”,  
“properties”: {  
“rejectUnauthorized”: false  
},  
“secure”:   
}  
},  
“defaults”: {  
“zosmf”: “LearnCOBOL.zosmf”,  
“base”: “base”  
},  
“plugins”:   
}

I don’t think so because this configuration seems to be dictated by the server.  
I don’t know if setting up port forwarding would work and fulfill your requirements.  
Perhaps, if you should ask on Slack’s `#zowe-cli`

Regards.
