Description:
"There is no SSH connection to the server." even using correct connection parameters. The server i'm trying to connect to can only be reached using SSH tunneling, SQL Editor works using the same parameters. I'm using Key based authentification using Pageant, the keys are encrypted. Connection to another server using password authentification works.

How to repeat:
Connect to a server using encrypted RSA keys via pageant and try Server Administration.

Workbench currently only works with ssh keys in openssh format. 
If you use puttygen to convert/export your putty-ssh-key into openssh format you should be able to use it with WB.

Now it's working, thanks! But i wonder why this is happening since 5.2.17 (worked fine with 5.2.16) and is only affecting the ssh connection which checks server status and so on.
