Secure Data Sharing and Consumption

A company has several in-house-developed applications that must connect to Snowflake. These applications cannot access a web browser and do not have redirect capabilities.

Based on this scenario, what does Snowflake recommend as the best practice for application authentication?

Explanation

Key-pair authentication with a dedicated service user supports non-interactive service-to-service access. The application proves possession of its private key while Snowflake verifies it against the public key associated with the service user, avoiding browser-based authorization redirects and password-based credentials.
