Test python connections for Okta integrated accounts
melanie-logan opened this issue · comments
We will need to confirm if python connections are impacted.
For Python:
- Disable local login for a test user in CDTFA Snowflake account
- Confirm local login is disabled
- Confirm user can still login using Okta SSO
- Confirm DUO Mobile MFA is disabled
- Confirm python connection works using Okta credentials
- Notify users of updates
Performed a test connection with Arman in the CDTFA account. We disabled his local login and disabled DUO mobile MFA.
We confirmed the following:
- User was unable to login using the old password
- User was still able to login using SSO
- The original python connection did not work after the original local password was disabled
- The python connection was restored after parameters were updated with Okta sign in credentials
We added:
authenticator='externalbrowser'
i.e.,
Pass authenticator='https://<okta_account_name>.okta.com' to the snowflake.connector.connect() function
According to online guidance:
Marking this issue completed, but I am creating a new one for troubleshooting errors encountered when passing the okta url to the snowflake connector function. Currently the authenticator='externalbrowser' approach is working for Okta integrated users.
