Support SFTP authentication using username, password, and private key simultaneously in IBM ACE.

Currently, IBM App Connect Enterprise (ACE) supports SFTP connections using either a username and password or a username and private key, but not both together. Many clients require a dual authentication mechanism combining username/password and private key for enhanced security. Enabling this feature would allow ACE users to meet stricter security requirements without relying on external workarounds or complex custom solutions.
