Important Updates from Snowflake

Deprecated Drivers:

As of February 1, 2024, Snowflake has ceased support of older driver versions in compliance with its Support Policy. You must upgrade to the latest driver version to access important security, performance, and functionality improvements. Ensure that your Snowflake pipelines use the Snowflake JDBC Driver v3.13.27 or a higher version. Learn how to check your current driver version. The Snowflake Snap Pack is bundled with the 3.16.0 JDBC driver, but if you are using your own version, it may be deprecated in accordance with Snowflake Guidelines.

Security Policies:

Snowflake recently signed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Secure By Design Pledge. In line with CISA’s Secure By Design principles, Snowflake recently announced several security enhancements in their platform — most notably the general availability of Trust Center and a new Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) policy.

Effective October 2024, MFA will be enforced by default for all human users in any new Snowflake account. Service users (accounts designed for service-to-service communication) will not be subject to this MFA requirement.

Basic Authentication Accounts:

If you currently use Basic authentication to access Snowflake, we recommend one of the following:

  • Update your password to a maximum of 14 characters and a minimum of 8, and ensure it does not match any of the previous five passwords. Learn more.

  • Migrate to Key-Pair authentication: This method involves generating a public and private key pair, where the private key is securely stored and the public key is registered with your Snowflake account.

  • Migrate to OAuth2 authentication: This is a widely adopted standard for secure delegated access. It allows applications to obtain limited access to user accounts on an HTTP service, facilitating safer and more manageable authentication flows.

Implementing the above recommendations will secure your data and protect sensitive data, ensuring compliance with Snowflake's updated security policies. Learn more. For questions, contact support@snaplogic.com.

Breaking Changes

Note

JDBC Snap Pack:

Reltio Account deprecation by the end of October 2024

  • Reltio has announced the deprecation of basic authentication using username and password for API access by the end of October 2024 to enhance their platform security. All customers must adopt client credentials and stop using username/password for API access immediately. Reltio will disallow API access using username/password by the end of October 2024. Client credentials are required for any integration or API usage with Reltio.

  • Consequently, SnapLogic deprecated the Reltio Account in the October 2024 release. Any existing Reltio pipelines that rely on the current Reltio Account that uses a username/password for API access will not be supported by Reltio. To ensure the continuity of your pipelines, we recommend that you use the Reltio OAuth2 Account.
