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.
Data Type
string
Default Value
"EMPTYSTRING"

| Platform | %APPDATA% |
| Windows | The value of the APPDATA environment variable, typically: C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Roaming |
| Mac | ~/.config |
