How to configure Entra ID SSO for Snowflake
In this video we'll walk through how to configure Entra ID SSO for Snowflake. We'll look at the step-by-step process of setting up an Azure Entra Application Registration so users can access Snowflake data using their existing Entra accounts. We'll cover the techniques using a React example, but you'll see how these methods apply to virtually any application that can integrate with Entra via MSAL or REST connections.
Description
Would you like to learn how to take advantage of Azure Entra ID for your applications that leverage Snowflake data?
This video is a step-by-step walk-through that demonstrates the configuration of a Microsoft Azure Entra Application Registration to enable users to use their Entra (a/k/a Azure AD) account to access a Snowflake Database from a custom application?
The specfici example in this tutorial uses Entra + Snowflake within a modern, React single-page web app. However, the techniques illustrated apply to other applications--in fact virtually any application that can integrate with Entra via MSAL or even REST connections.
