Description

Snowflake recently announced that they are discontinuing the usage of userid/password authentication method in the coming months, the userid/password connections will not be supported from November 1st, 2025. Our organization is moving towards Key-pair based authentication that would avoid using password in the connection string for Snowflake connections.

Requesting the Snowflake connector to support the key-pair authentication in place of userid/password feature with Atlas WebAPI.
