Key-pair authentication for Snowflake in Purview

Question

Key-pair authentication for Snowflake in Purview

Anonymous

Hi,

Is it possible to connect snowflake to purview with key-pair authentication instead of basic authentication (username and password)? If not, are you planning on launching that feature?

Kindest,

Karla

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A platform and thanks for posting your question.

No, currently Azure Purview doesn't support connecting to Snowflake using key-pair authentication. As of now, Purview only allows basic authentication with username and password for Snowflake connections.

There is no official information about adding key-pair authentication as a future feature, but you can follow Microsoft's documentation for updates:

Hi Phemanth,

Please note that per this link, Snowflake is deprecating basic authentication. I hope that Microsoft can post a comment about their timeline for accommodating this change to allow a more secure method: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/security-mfa-rollout?mkt_tok=MjUyLVJGTy0yMjcAAAGZu049SmQpxIwlhxefvcXSvYak7n5MxR8gbVYhsF0n35vYcmXBzU9NXHAjP7YLKt7yM8WJFrYlW-r6bIlF98NOfpOaraheEVXLGtuhgv4iTGtL6YLW_g#deprecation-timeline
