and passwords. The [credential_type](/api-docs/secret/databases#credential_type)

### Dynamic Roles
#### Password Credentials
1. Configure a role that creates new Snowflake users with password credentials:
```shell-session
$ vault write database/roles/my-password-role \
db_name=my-snowflake-database \
creation_statements="CREATE USER {{name}} PASSWORD = '{{password}}'
DAYS_TO_EXPIRY = {{expiration}} DEFAULT_ROLE=myrole;
GRANT ROLE myrole TO USER {{name}};" \
default_ttl="1h" \
max_ttl="24h"
Success! Data written to: database/roles/my-password-role
```

``` ```
#### Key Pair Credentials
1. Configure a role that creates new Snowflake users with key pair credentials:
```shell-session
$ vault write database/roles/my-keypair-role \
db_name=my-snowflake-database \
creation_statements="CREATE USER {{name}} RSA_PUBLIC_KEY='{{public_key}}'
DAYS_TO_EXPIRY = {{expiration}} DEFAULT_ROLE=myrole;

credential_config=key_bits=2048 \
default_ttl="1h" \
max_ttl="24h"
Success! Data written to: database/roles/my-keypair-role
```
1. Generate a new credential by reading from the `/creds` endpoint with the name
of the role:
```shell-session
$ vault read database/creds/my-keypair-role
Key Value
--- -----

You can directly use the PEM-encoded `rsa_private_key` value to establish a connection
to Snowflake. See [connection options](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/key-pair-auth.html#step-6-configure-the-snowflake-client-to-use-key-pair-authentication)
for a list of clients and instructions for establishing a connection using key pair
authentication.
### Static Roles
#### Password Credentials
1. Configure a static role that rotates the password credential for an existing Snowflake user.
```shell-session
$ vault write database/static-roles/my-password-role \
db_name=my-snowflake-database \
username="snowflake_existing_user" \
rotation_period="24h" \
rotation_statements="ALTER USER {{name}} SET PASSWORD = '{{password}}'"
Success! Data written to: database/static-roles/my-password-role
```
1. Retrieve the current password credential from the `/static-creds` endpoint:
```shell-session
$ vault read database/static-creds/my-password-role
Key Value
--- -----
last_vault_rotation 2020-08-07T16:50:48.393354+01:00
password Z4-KH8F-VK5VJc0hSkXQ
rotation_period 24h
ttl 23h59m39s
username my-existing-couchbase-user
```
#### Key Pair Credentials
1. Configure a static role that rotates the key pair credential for an existing Snowflake user:
```shell-session
$ vault write database/static-roles/my-keypair-role \
db_name=my-snowflake-database \
username="snowflake_existing_user" \
rotation_period="24h" \
rotation_statements="ALTER USER {{name}} SET RSA_PUBLIC_KEY='{{public_key}}'" \
credential_type="rsa_private_key" \
credential_config=key_bits=2048
Success! Data written to: database/static-roles/my-keypair-role
```
1. Retrieve the current key pair credential from the `/static-creds` endpoint:
```shell-session
$ vault read database/static-creds/my-keypair-role
Key Value
--- -----
last_vault_rotation 2022-06-08T13:13:02.355928-07:00
rotation_period 24h
rsa_private_key -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
...
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
ttl 23h59m55s
username snowflake_existing_user
```
You can directly use the PEM-encoded `rsa_private_key` value to establish a connection
to Snowflake. See [connection options](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/key-pair-auth.html#step-6-configure-the-snowflake-client-to-use-key-pair-authentication)
for a list of clients and instructions for establishing a connection using key pair
authentication.
## Key Pair Authentication
Snowflake supports using [key pair authentication](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/key-pair-auth.html)
for enhanced authentication security as an alternative to username and password authentication.
The Snowflake database plugin can be used to manage key pair credentials for Snowflake users
by using the `rsa_private_key` [credential_type](/api-docs/secret/databases#credential_type).
See the [usage](/docs/secrets/databases/snowflake#usage) section for examples using both
dynamic and static roles.
