Description
Problem
Now that SSH tunnel settings have been separated into reusable SSH profiles, it’s not possible to test whether an SSH profile can connect successfully before using it. This makes it hard to validate if the SSH host, port, username, and authentication settings are correct. Currently, you have to use the profile in a database connection to know if it works or not, which can be frustrating when troubleshooting SSH issues.
Proposed solution
Add a Test Connection button or similar action in the SSH profile editor (see screenshot below). After entering SSH details, the user should be able to test the connection directly and get a clear result: success or failure with error messages. Optionally, it would be nice if the UI could indicate whether a profile has already been validated.
Alternatives considered
Currently, the only workaround is to use the profile in a database connection and see if connecting works, which is cumbersome and doesn’t provide details if SSH authentication fails.
