Authentication Options

  • Private Key (Recommended)

    • You’ll pass in your RSA private key to Explo to utilize in authenticating with Snowflake. See Snowflake’s documentation for help creating and setting up a private key.
  • Password (Deprecated)

    • Snowflake has deprecated single-factor password authentication and will block it by November 2025. It is highly recommended to setup Private Key authentication instead.

Allowlisting Explo’s IPs

You may need to allowlist egress IPs for your Connectivity Region.
