  title: Apache Airflow Register a Connection After Testing It
  summary: Test a connection's credentials against the target system before saving it, then create and verify the stored connection.
  description: >-
    Airflow connections hold the credentials every operator uses to reach an
    external system, and a bad connection surfaces as a task failure hours later
    rather than as an error at write time. This workflow closes that gap by using
    the test endpoint first: it submits the candidate connection to Airflow, which
    instantiates the hook and attempts a real connection, and only creates the
    stored connection when the test reports success. The connection is then read
    back to confirm what was persisted. Every step spells out its request inline
    so the flow can be read and executed without opening the underlying OpenAPI
    description.

  description: >-
    Tests the candidate connection against the target system, creates it only on a
    successful test, reads it back, and confirms it appears in the connections
    list.
  inputs:
    type: object
    required:
    - connectionId
    - connType
    properties:
      connectionId:
        type: string
        description: The connection id DAGs will reference (e.g. "warehouse_postgres").
      connType:
        type: string
        description: >-
          The connection type, matching an installed provider hook (e.g.
          "postgres", "http", "aws", "snowflake").
      host:
        type: string
        description: The host name or endpoint for the target system.
      schemaName:
        type: string
        description: >-
          The schema or database name. Sent as the connection's "schema" field,
          which is named for the database concept rather than a JSON schema.
      login:
        type: string
        description: The user name or access key used to authenticate.
      password:
        type: string
        description: >-
          The secret used to authenticate. Airflow stores this encrypted with the
          Fernet key and never returns it on read.
      port:
        type: integer
        description: The port on the target host.
      extra:
        type: string
        description: >-
          Provider-specific options as a JSON-encoded string, e.g.
          "{\"sslmode\": \"require\"}".
      description:
        type: string
        description: A human readable description of what this connection reaches.
  steps:
  - stepId: testConnection
    description: >-
      Ask Airflow to instantiate the hook for this connection type and actually
      attempt to reach the target system. Nothing is stored. Note that this
      endpoint is disabled unless the deployment sets test_connection to Enabled
      in the core config, so a 403 here means the feature is turned off rather
      than that the credentials are wrong.
