Add SSH Credential Verification on Device Administration Page For Creds Assigned to Device (Not Just via Template)

Idea Summary:

It would be extremely useful to be able to test assigned SSH credentials of a device, regardless of if they are from a template or were assigned directly to the device.


Problem:

Currently, if you wanted to test a directly assigned credential, you would have to do a device export to verify what is assigned, then go to the testing page and input them, since the current testing page cannot look them up.

For testing a currently assigned template, you have to define the device and then try and find the right template out of the list that matches what is already assigned to that device.

For large environments, ie MSPs, this is much messier than it sounds. This is a task that we perform very frequently, and it becomes a headache.


Suggested Solution:

This could be two part solution:

1) An updated Credentials & Connectivity Test tool page, which has an added third option of the Credentials category for Currently Assigned.

2) An updated Device Administration page, which includes an SSH test option in the Debugging Tools dropdown, just like the Test SNMP option, or at least in the Authentication section by the assigned creds. You click the test button and it tests the assigned credential against the devices and provides a success/failure notice somehow.
