For more information on establishing a connection, see Getting Started.

Authentication


PropertyDescription
AuthSchemeThe authentication scheme used. Accepted entries are Password, OKTA, PrivateKey, AzureAD, OAuth, PingFederate, or ExternalBrowser.
AccountThe Account provided for authentication with Snowflake database. This is usually derived from the URL automatically.

Connection


PropertyDescription
UseVirtualHostingIf true (default), buckets will be referenced in the request using the hosted-style request: http://yourbucket.s3.amazonaws.com/yourobject. If set to false, the bean will use the path-style request: http://s3.amazonaws.com/yourbucket/yourobject. Note that this property will be set to false, in case of an S3 based custom service when the CustomURL is specified.

Azure Authentication

SSO


PropertyDescription
ProofKeyThe ProofKey for authentication with Snowflake database. This is usually derived from GetSSOAuthorizationURL call.
