Username	String	Yes	Snowflake username for authentication	`myuser`
Password	Password	No	Password for authentication (not required if using key-pair authentication)	`********`
Database	String	Yes	Snowflake database name	`MYDB`
Schema	String	Yes	Snowflake schema name	`PUBLIC`

Private Key Password	Password	No	Password for encrypted private key (leave blank if key is not encrypted)	`********`

Snowflake supports two authentication methods:

Provide your Snowflake username and password. This is the simplest method for getting started.

For enhanced security, use key-pair authentication:

Generate your private key and encode it to Base64: cat private_key.pem | base64
Set Authenticator to SNOWFLAKE_JWT
Paste the Base64-encoded key content in the Private Key field
If your key is encrypted, provide the Private Key Password
