A Snowflake account has activated federated authentication.

What will occur when a user with a password that was defined by Snowflake attempts to log in to Snowflake?

AThe user will be unable to enter a password.

BThe user will encounter an error, and will not be able to log in.

CThe user will be able to log into Snowflake successfully.

DAfter entering the username and password, the user will be redirected to an Identity Provider (IdP) login page.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

When federated authentication is activated in Snowflake, users authenticate via an external identity provider (IdP) rather than using Snowflake-managed credentials. Therefore, a user with a password defined by Snowflake will be unable to enter a password and must use their IdP credentials to log in.

This is a tricky one, but I think C is the right answer. If the Snowflake account has federated authentication, the user should be able to log in successfully using the credentials from the Identity Provider. It's like a one-stop-shop for your login needs.

So, after entering the username and password, the user will be redirected to the IdP login page, right?

Hmm, I'm going with B. If the user has a Snowflake-defined password, but the account is using federated authentication, there's bound to be an error. It's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, but with more technology.

Yeah, it makes sense that there would be an error if the user has a Snowflake-defined password.

I think D makes sense because the user will be redirected to the IdP login page for authentication.

Aha! Option D is the winner. When federated authentication is enabled, the user gets redirected to the Identity Provider's login page. It's like a high-tech version of 'who's on first?'.

That's right. With federated authentication, the user needs to go through the Identity Provider's login process.

Wait, so if I have a Snowflake account with federated authentication, I can't just use my regular Snowflake password? That's so confusing, I might as well become a snowman and forget about logging in.
