Connecting IRIS and VS Code on Windows 11 PRO

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to get back into shape with IRIS. My current goal is to practice with ObjectScript and VS Code. I installed both on my Mac, and everything worked like a charm—perhaps that's why I'm still a big fan of Unix.

For the past week, however, I've been trying to set up IRIS and VS Code on a Lenovo Legion with a Ryzen 7 processor running Windows 11 Pro, but without success. While IRIS itself is running perfectly, I'm unable to connect to it from VS Code to store ObjectScript routines. The closest I've gotten, after multiple attempts at modifying the settings.json file, was by using the same configuration that worked on my Mac.

I understand that storing passwords in a plain file is not best practice, but this setup is strictly for internal use to help me get up to speed.

Apologies if I'm overlooking any key details for a proper analysis—I'm really rusty. Below, you'll find the latest settings.json file I used, along with a screenshot.

Thanks in advance for any help
