Description

with #208 you can avoid adding skip-verify to your requests, but it would be nice to configure that as part of your config profile so that you could adjust it based on the instance you are connecting to.

this issue would add an additional option to the configs file that would allow you to specify if you wanted to skip-verify or not.

this would also update the command to create and edit those configs to allow the user to specify that option

this would also update the other commands to look for that flag when setting the config profile.

Research direction

Start by tracing the config profile handling used by the commands that create and edit configs, then inspect how other commands load and apply the profile. Add an optional skip-verify setting to the config flow and ensure commands honor it when connecting. Done means users can set the option during config creation or editing and it affects requests for that profile.
