About Key Pair Authentication

Creating a Key Pair

Execute the following command in the terminal

  • Create a private key
$ openssl genrsa 2048 | openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -out rsa_key.p8 -nocrypt
  • Generating a public key
$ openssl rsa -in rsa_key.p8 -pubout -out rsa_key.pub
  • Output the public key for setting (remove line breaks and unnecessary parts)
$ cat rsa_key.pub | \
tr -d "\n" | \
sed "s/-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----//g" | \
sed "s/-----END PUBLIC KEY-----//g"

Setting the Public Key to Snowflake

-- Link the public key to any user

alter user [username] set rsa_public_key='[設定用の公開鍵の出力結果]'
