What inspired this wish list request? An inability to easily connect to a snowflake service account without a separate installation of the ODBC driver.
What is the improvement you would like to see? The baked in snowflake connector (or any REST data connector, for that matter) to be able to function using public/private key pairings for authentication.
Why is this idea important? Our service account for snowflake are public/private keys. And while ODBC setup can handle these key pairs, they also require additional setup of the driver, and depending how technical or how IT may have items locked down, can be more cumbersome for some users. Being able to use built in REST connector in JMP has been great when it was just un/pw authorization, but with it shifting to keys, I now need to go back to ODBC OR build a special python program to do the connection/querying work.
