Description: It appears that the bug in report #62119 which was reportedly fixed in 5.2.41 has now regressed. Workbench fails to connect to the MySQL server, with the error message: Unsupported administration target type: ('windows','linux','local') How to repeat: Install MySQL Workbench on a Windows machine. Set up port forwarding so that a remote Linux installation of MySQL server is available on 127.0.0.1. Select 'New Server Instance' in Workbench, and select 'Remote host: 127.0.0.1', and 'Do not use remote management'. Observe that Workbench fails to connect to the server. Suggested fix: Re-remove the code that assumes that any server on 127.0.0.1 must actually be running on the local machine.
