Increase max lenght for Direct Connection input fields - InFlight Protocol setups

We have situations where Trading Partners want to host direct connections like FTP, FTPs, and SFTP.  Currently InFlight limits the user name field to 25 characters.  We are now encountering partners that insist on using user names longer than this limit.   We cannot currently support the client's need of setting up the connection with this limitation.  Please increase this input field to at least 35 characters.

What is your industry? Consumer Products
How will this idea be used?

This change will allow us to complete a new connection to a very large, high profile customer.

    Thank you for submitting this request. To date this has not been targeted as an enhancement that will be delivered in the near-term and as a result we are closing this request.
