Is federated authentication in Snowflake compliant with SAML 2.0?

True
False
Only for enterprise accounts
Only for cloud-based systems

The correct answer is: True

Federated authentication in Snowflake is indeed compliant with SAML 2.0. This means that Snowflake supports SAML 2.0 for single sign-on (SSO) capabilities, allowing organizations to integrate their existing identity providers with Snowflake. SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is a widely-used standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, particularly between an identity provider and a service provider. By leveraging SAML 2.0, organizations can enable secure and user-friendly access to their Snowflake environments without requiring separate credentials, thereby enhancing security and streamlining the user experience. This compliance is crucial for businesses that follow stringent authentication protocols and need to manage user access efficiently across multiple applications. The other choices suggest limitations such as applicability only to certain types of accounts or systems, which does not reflect the general applicability of the SAML 2.0 standard within Snowflake's federated authentication framework. Snowflake supports SAML 2.0 for all relevant accounts, enhancing its adaptability and security across various environments.
