Secrets

Snowflake secrets securely store sensitive information, such as credentials or keys, allowing users to use these values without needing direct access to them. For more details, refer to Snowflake: Create Secret.

In Snoweaver, secrets play a crucial role in securing authentication for various connections.

Snoweaver supports three types of secrets that can be configured through the Admin console:

  • String: A sensitive string value, such as an API key. This type is suitable for storing single-value secrets like passphrases.

  • Basic: Consists of a username and account credentials. This type is commonly used for storing complete account authentication details, including username and primary credentials.

  • OAuth2: Used for generating OAuth 2.0 access tokens. Configuring an OAuth2 secret involves setting up a security integration for authenticating with an external API. This type is ideal for services that use OAuth 2.0 for authorization. For more detailed information on setting up OAuth2 secrets, refer to OAuth Integrations.
