Changing Auth from Password to Keypair issues

[SHARMA-G]

 I am currently working on transitioning the authentication method for an existing user setup in Snowflake from password-based authentication to key pair authentication within Qlik Replicate. I am following the official guide provided by Qlik, but I am encountering an issue.

In the Qlik Replicate Console, under Manage Endpoint Connections, I only see options for OAuth and Password authentication in the dropdown menu—there is no option for Key Pair Authentication or upload keys. Given that my version is 2023.11, I would like to understand if there is a workaround or if key pair authentication is supported in this version.

just to add I have followed the exact instruction and i am gettig this error I can see the private keys in the location ihave specified :

• Cannot connect to Cloud server
• RetCode: SQL_ERROR SqlState: HY000 NativeError: 45 Message: [Snowflake][Snowflake] (45) Error loading private key file: No such file or directory.

Hi @SHARMA-G 

Key pair authentication for Snowflake is not supported in the November 2023 version you’re using. It is available starting from the May 2024 release.

I recommend you upgrading to May 2024 if you want to use key pair.

Thanks for the clarification. So, this error is due to the need for a version upgrade rather than an issue with the steps I followed. Since the guide I referenced was written in 2022 which is prior to the ver I am using, so I  thought this should work, is there a more updated version available?   link I am looking is https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/How-to-setup-Key-Pair-Authentication-in-Snow...

Hello @SHARMA-G ,

The link you mentioned is good enough.

You may download Replicate 2024.5 SR1 , or 2024.11 from https://community.qlik.com/t5/Download-Qlik-Products/tkb-p/Downloads.

Good luck,

John.
