Enable SSH Generator Feature Flag

Open carlos-zamora opened this issue 7 months ago • 2 comments

Enables the SSH Dynamic Profile Generator feature flag now that the Settings UI is better equipped to handle it. Since the generator was first introduced, the settings UI has grown to include an Extensions page to disable the generator (if desired) as well as a New Tab Menu page to manage how to display the generated profiles in the dropdown.

Targets #18633

Closes #15007

Extensions page with SSH Host Profile Generator included

Does this add the SSH profiles by default already? I know we've in the past talked about adding profiles only when the user wants them, so I was wondering if we're making that part of 1.24...

Yeah, the profiles are added by default, but can be managed using disabledProfileSources in the JSON or the Extensions page in the SUI.

The concept of "disabling by default" is a bit difficult here because we'd have to patch disabledProfileSources to include the SSH generator. I think the way we've handled that before is by updating defaults.json. That way anybody that has disabledProfileSources defined in their settings.json is unaffected vs those who don't have it defined inherit it.

Happy to add that change in, but I just want to make sure we have consensus. I'll start a thread.

Generator icon: image

Some other ideas from segoe fluent icons: image image image

I'm guessing we want to have the generator icon and profile icons be the same (which is an easy fix now). @DHowett any of these stand out to you? I'm actually leaning StorageNetworkWireless or PC1. (I personally like the branding of "network")

Let's do PC1 for the profiles
