CREATE SECURITY INTEGRATION

Snowflake logo in black (no text) Preview Feature — Open

Available to all accounts.

Creates a new security integration in the account or replaces an existing integration. An integration is a Snowflake object that provides an interface between Snowflake and third-party services.

A security integration enables clients that support OAuth to redirect users to an authorization page and generate access tokens (and optionally, refresh tokens) for access to Snowflake.

Snowflake OAuth

Snowflake OAuth Required Parameters

name

String that specifies the identifier (i.e. name) for the integration; must be unique in your account.

In addition, the identifier must start with an alphabetic character and cannot contain spaces or special characters unless the entire identifier string is enclosed in double quotes (e.g. "My object"). Identifiers enclosed in double quotes are also case-sensitive.

For more details, see Identifier Requirements.

TYPE = OAUTH

Specify the type of integration:

  • OAUTH: Creates a security interface between Snowflake and a client that supports OAuth.

OAUTH_CLIENT = CUSTOM | partner_application

Specify the client type:

  • CUSTOM: Creates an OAuth interface between Snowflake and a custom client.

  • partner_application: Creates an OAuth interface between Snowflake and a partner application. Supported values are:

    • TABLEAU_DESKTOP: Tableau Desktop version 2019.1 or higher.

    • TABLEAU_SERVER: Tableau Online or Tableau Server.

    • LOOKER: The Looker business intelligence tool.

Snowflake OAuth Optional Parameters

ENABLED = TRUE | FALSE

Specifies whether to initiate operation of the integration or suspend it.

  • TRUE enables the integration.

  • FALSE disables the integration for maintenance. Any integration between Snowflake and a third-party service fails to work.

Default FALSE. If a security integration is created without setting this parameter to TRUE, Snowflake sets the parameter to FALSE.

Snowflake OAuth Custom Client Parameters

Required only when OAUTH_CLIENT = CUSTOM (i.e. when creating an integration for a custom client)

OAUTH_CLIENT_TYPE = 'CONFIDENTIAL' | 'PUBLIC'

Specifies the type of client being registered. Snowflake supports both confidential and public clients. Confidential clients can store a secret. They run in a protected area where end users cannot access them. For example, a secured service deployed on the cloud could be a confidential client; whereas, a client running on a desktop or distributed through an app store could be a public client.

OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI = 'uri'

Specifies the client URI. After a user is authenticated, the web browser is redirected to this URI. The URI must be protected by TLS (Transport Layer Security) unless the optional OAUTH_ALLOW_NON_TLS_REDIRECT_URI parameter is set to TRUE.

Snowflake OAuth Partner Application Parameters — Optional

Valid when OAUTH_CLIENT = <partner_application> (i.e. when creating an integration for a partner application)

OAUTH_ISSUE_REFRESH_TOKENS = TRUE | FALSE

Boolean that specifies whether to allow the client to exchange a refresh token for an access token when the current access token has expired. If set to FALSE, a refresh token is not issued regardless of the integer value set in OAUTH_REFRESH_TOKEN_VALIDITY. User consent is revoked, and the user must confirm authorization again.

Default: TRUE

Note

If this parameter is set to FALSE and the security integration also has ENABLED = TRUE, the Snowflake OAuth flow repeats, a non-configurable access token is issued, and the access token is valid for 600 seconds (10 minutes). After this access token expires, the user must authenticate again.

Setting this parameter to FALSE and ENABLED = false results in no tokens being issued and the integration is disabled.

OAUTH_REFRESH_TOKEN_VALIDITY = integer

Integer that specifies how long refresh tokens should be valid (in seconds). This can be used to expire the refresh token periodically. Note that OAUTH_ISSUE_REFRESH_TOKENS must be set to TRUE.

When a refresh token expires, the application will need to direct the user through the authorization flow again to obtain a new refresh token.

The supported minimum, maximum, and default values are as follows:

Application

Minimum

Maximum

Default

Tableau Desktop

60 (1 minute)

36000 (10 hours)

36000 (10 hours)

Tableau Server or Tableau Online

60 (1 minute)

7776000 (90 days)

7776000 (90 days)

Custom client

3600 (1 hour)

7776000 (90 days)

7776000 (90 days)

If you have a business need to lower the minimum value or raise the maximum value, ask your account administrator to send a request to Snowflake Support.

BLOCKED_ROLES_LIST = '(role_name', 'role_name')

Comma-separated list of Snowflake roles that a user cannot explicitly consent to using after authenticating, e.g. 'custom_role1', 'custom_role2'.

Note that the ACCOUNTADMIN and SECURITYADMIN roles are included in this list by default; however, if these roles should be removed for your account, ask your account administrator to send a request to Snowflake Support.

COMMENT = 'string_literal'

String (literal) that specifies a comment for the integration.

Default: No value

Snowflake OAuth Custom Client Parameters — Optional

Valid when OAUTH_CLIENT = CUSTOM (i.e. when creating an integration for a custom client)

OAUTH_ALLOW_NON_TLS_REDIRECT_URI = TRUE | FALSE

If TRUE, allows setting OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI to a URI not protected by TLS. We highly recommend use of TLS to prevent man-in-the-middle OAuth redirects for use in phishing attacks.

Default: FALSE

OAUTH_ENFORCE_PKCE = TRUE | FALSE

Boolean that specifies whether Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) should be required for the integration.

By default, PKCE is optional and is enforced only if the code_challenge and code_challenge_method parameters are both included in the authorization endpoint URL. However, we highly recommend that your client require PKCE for all authorizations to make the OAuth flow more secure. For more information, see Configure Snowflake OAuth for Custom Clients.

Default: FALSE

PRE_AUTHORIZED_ROLES_LIST = '(role_name', 'role_name')

Comma-separated list of Snowflake roles that a user does not need to explicitly consent to using after authenticating (e.g. 'custom_role1', 'custom_role2'). Note that the ACCOUNTADMIN and SECURITYADMIN roles cannot be included in this list.

Note

This parameter is supported for confidential clients only.

BLOCKED_ROLES_LIST = '(role_name', 'role_name')

Comma-separated list of Snowflake roles that a user cannot explicitly consent to using after authenticating, e.g. 'custom_role1', 'custom_role2'. Note that the ACCOUNTADMIN and SECURITYADMIN roles are included in this list by default; however, if these roles should be removed for your account, ask your account administrator to send a request to Snowflake Support.

OAUTH_ISSUE_REFRESH_TOKENS = TRUE | FALSE

Boolean that specifies whether to allow the client to exchange a refresh token for an access token when the current access token has expired. If set to FALSE, a refresh token is not issued. User consent is revoked, and the user must confirm authorization again.

Default: TRUE

OAUTH_REFRESH_TOKEN_VALIDITY = integer

Integer that specifies how long refresh tokens should be valid (in seconds). This can be used to expire the refresh token periodically. Note that OAUTH_ISSUE_REFRESH_TOKENS must be set to TRUE.

Note that if your organization would like the minimum or maximum values lowered or raised, respectively, ask your account administrator to send a request to Snowflake Support.

Values

86400 (1 day) to 7776000 (90 days)

Default

7776000

NETWORK_POLICY = 'network_policy'

Specifies an existing network policy active for your account. The network policy restricts the list of user IP addresses when exchanging an authorization code for an access or refresh token and when using a refresh token to obtain a new access token. If this parameter is not set, the network policy for the account (if any) is used instead.

OAUTH_CLIENT_RSA_PUBLIC_KEY = public_key1

Specifies an RSA public key. For more information, see OAuth.

OAUTH_CLIENT_RSA_PUBLIC_KEY_2 = public_key2

Specifies a second RSA public key. Used for key rotation.

COMMENT = 'string_literal'

String (literal) that specifies a comment for the integration.

Default: No value

Usage Notes

  • Only account administrators (users with the ACCOUNTADMIN role) or a role with the global CREATE INTEGRATION privilege can execute this SQL command.
