    Hi to all,

    Quick update on this issue (Key-Pair authentication between Snowflake and Power BI).

    Finally got a “solution” from the support and was able refresh the model using Key-Pair authentication.

    What I ended up doing is to enable “Use legacy Snowflake connector implementation” within Preview features.

    According to Microsoft support: “Currently, Implementation 2.0 consumes more memory, which the engineering team is actively working to optimize. This issue has been documented in the reference document below, and the document will be updated once the fix is implemented and released”.

     

    Thank you.

Hi everyone, 

I noticed for snowflake connector in Power BI, I see a 3rd option for KeyPair authentication. Wanted to check if it in preview mode or open for all, as I do not see a official message from Power BI. Any updates regarding the same will be helpful.
If you have any official communication, please share the link.
