Configuring Key Pairs

erwin Data Intelligence (erwin DI) supports key pair authentication for Snowflake. To use this authentication, ensure that you do the following:

  1. Generate a private and public key using OpenSSL. You can generate encrypted or unencrypted keys.
  2. Configure public and private keys to your Snowflake user account.
  3. Move the bc-fips-1.0.2.jar file from \Apache Software Foundation\<Tomcat X.X>\webapps\erwinDISuite\WEB-INF\lib to \Apache Software Foundation\<Tomcat X.X>\lib and restart tomcat.

You can a configure key pair using an encrypted or unencrypted private key.
