CredentialsLocation
Specifies the location of the settings file where credentials are stored for authenticating with Snowflake. This property allows users to provide a custom path to a credentials file or use the default location if not specified. Storing credentials in a file ensures that sensitive information can be securely managed outside of the connection string.
