Snowflake S3 OAuth2 Account

In this article

Overview

You can use this account type to connect Snowflake Snaps with data sources that use a Snowflake S3 OAuth2 account. Snowflake OAuth uses Snowflake’s built-in OAuth service to provide OAuth-based authentication.

Prerequisites

Create a Security Integration in Snowflake to generate a client ID and a client secret. Learn more about generating a Client ID and a Client Secret in Snowflake.

Limitations and Known Issues

  • If an S3 bucket is specified in the SnapLogic Snowflake Account, the S3 credentials are validated as follows:

    • The S3 access-key ID and S3 secret key specified are used to create an S3 connection.

      • If the S3 access-key ID and S3 secret key are not specified, the Snap will use the IAM role instead.

      • If the Snap is not able to write to the S3 bucket, validation ends with an error stating that the Snap is unable to write to the specified S3 bucket.

    • If the Snap is able to write to (but not delete from) the provided S3 bucket, validation ends with an error indicating that the configuration is not able to delete from the S3 bucket.

    • The S3 AWS token is also validated if specified.

      • Note that only global Security Token Service (STS) regions are supported.

  • If an S3 bucket isn’t specified in the SnapLogic Account, no validation of S3 credentials occurs.

Field Name

Field Type

Description

Label*

 

Default Value: [None]
ExampleSnowflakeOauth2Account_Test

String

A unique name for your account instance.

 

Client ID*

 

Default Value: N/A
Exampleabcd12345xyz567

String

The OAuth Client ID (to be used for token request) that you obtain from the Snowflake Console when the client is registered. Learn more about How to generate OAuth Client ID and Client secret.

 

Client secret

 

Default Value: N/A
Example<Encrypted>

String

The OAuth Client secret that you obtain from the Snowflake Console. 

 

Access token*

 

Default Value: N/A
Example857426

String

Auto-generated upon account authorization. The access token is used to make API requests on behalf of the user associated with the client ID.

 

Refresh token

 

Default Value: N/A
Example857427

String

Auto-generated upon account authorization. The token used to refresh the access token.

To access the API beyond the lifetime of a single access token, your application can obtain a refresh token. The application stores the refresh token for future use and automatically refreshes the access token before it expires.

Access token expiration

 

Default Value: N/A
Example6541

Integer

Auto-generated upon account authorization. The number of seconds after which the access token expires.

We recommend that you set the oauth_refresh_token_validity to 7776000 seconds when creating the Security Integration in Snowflake as this is the maximum time Snowflake allows for getting refresh tokens.
