I want to connection to a client Snow flake Connection in Ignition. So I install require JDBC driver and translator.  
As Snowflake has enhanced their security posture, due to which the days of username and password are gone. Now for a "service" type account the best option is RSA Key Pair authorization and our client only provide this instead of password.  
So I wonder how should use RSA Key p8 file in the Ignition Snowflake connection?

There is apparently some JDBC connection parameters that are used to point to a KeyStore file: [Keypair JDBC Authentication for Snowflake](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/keypair-jdbc-authentication-for-snowflake/96682)

Seems at least one person has had success, but no follow up with details.

EDIT: didn't realize your link was to the same post hah. The Keypair documentation on the snowflake site is fairly straightforward as well

[My post asking about the same thing with a mini update](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/keypair-jdbc-authentication-for-snowflake/96682/7)

We were able to get it to work. Unfortunately, I do not have visibility into the Snowflake admin side of things if that is where the root of the problem is
