Register a Snowflake Host

This feature is being gradually rolled out to customers and may not be available to your account yet.

Requirements:

• Immuta permission CREATE_DATA_SOURCE

• USAGE Snowflake privilege on the schema and database to register data sources

• REFERENCES Snowflake privilege on all tables

• No Snowflake integrations configured in Immuta. If your Snowflake integration is already configured on the app settings page, register your data sources using the legacy method.

To register a Snowflake host with all its schemas and data sources, follow the instructions below.

1. Click Data and select the Infrastructure tab in the navigation menu.

2. Click the + Add Host button.

3. Select the Snowflake data platform tile.

4. Enter the host connection information:

   • Host: The URL of your Snowflake account.

   • Port: Your Snowflake port.

   • Warehouse: The warehouse the Immuta system account user will use to run queries and perform Snowflake operations.

   • Immuta Database: The new, empty database for Immuta to manage. This is where system views, user entitlements, row access policies, column-level policies, procedures, and functions managed by Immuta will be created and stored.

   • Role: The default Snowflake role for the Immuta system account user.

   • Connection Key: A unique name for your host. This connection key will be used to create data source names for this host.

5. Click Next.

6. Select an authentication method from the dropdown menu. This authentication information will be included in the script populated later on the page.

   1. Username and password: Choose one of the following options.

      1. Select Immuta Generated to have Immuta populate the system account name and password.

      2. Select User Provided to enter your own name and password for the Immuta system account.

   2. Snowflake External OAuth:

      1. Fill out the Token Endpoint, which is where the generated token is sent. It is also known as aud (audience) and iss (issuer).

      2. Fill out the Client ID, which is the subject of the generated token. It is also known as sub (subject).

      3. Opt to fill out the Resource field with a URI of the resource where the requested token will be used.

      4. Enter the x509 Certificate Thumbprint. This identifies the corresponding key to the token and is often abbreviated as x5t or is called kid (key identifier).

      5. Upload the PEM Certificate, which is the client certificate that is used to sign the authorization request.

   3. Key Pair Authentication:

      1. Complete the Username field. This username will be used to connect to the remote database and retrieve records for this data source.

      2. If using a private key, enter the Private Key Password.

      3. Click Select a File, and upload a Snowflake key pair file.

7. The Role is prepopulated from the entry on the previous page.
