Description

This PR solves a potential delay in reading existing DB connection configurations. When adding a computed running_plugin_version field to the response when reading a database configuration, we introduced the possibility of adding additional latency to this read request while attempting to verify the connection regardless of whether or not verify_connection was set to false in the config. In the event that there was additional latency introduced, this had the potential of causing Terraform runs, or any other workflow that depended upon reading numerous DB connections, to take longer than expected. In the Terraform case this could lead to timeouts causing failures. This PR forces the skipping of the connection verification on DB configuration read. A side effect of this implementation is that we also respect the verify_connection parameter further in the DB connection process during initialization which will result in slightly different error messaging in the event of a failed connection during a DB operation where the connection is not set to verify. If the configuration is set to skip verification, the connection is attempted and the error bubbles up, but will no longer be wrapped in a error verifying connection error message. This is not only clearer, but more in-line with what is expected based on configuration.

  • Backport Labels: If this PR is in the ENT repo and needs to be backported, backport
    to N, N-1, and N-2, using the backport/ent/x.x.x+ent labels. If this PR is in the CE repo, you should only backport to N, using the backport/x.x.x label, not the enterprise labels.
    • [N/A] If this fixes a critical security vulnerability or severity 1 bug, it will also need to be backported to the current LTS versions of Vault. To ensure this, use all available enterprise labels.
  • [N/A] ENT Breakage: If this PR either 1) removes a public function OR 2) changes the signature
    of a public function, even if that change is in a CE file, double check that
    applying the patch for this PR to the ENT repo and running tests doesn't
    break any tests. Sometimes ENT only tests rely on public functions in CE
    files.

This seems like something we could keep in the response.

I was on the fence on this as well. I agree we can probably keep it so I'll remove that line!
