I am trying to use SAS ODBC to connect to my company's Snowflake account using SSO via an external browser. I was able to connect it with a macro and the User / Password as seen below:

 

%macro libname_snowflake(
connName /* Choose the local DB name */
,schema /* Choose the Oracle-like schema (owner) name */
);

 

/* This should minimize code rewrites with schema alias. */

%if &schema. = CS %then %do;
%let db=PUB_DATA;
%end;

 

* This presumes all schemas will begin with string PUB */

%else %if %substr(&schema., 1, 3) = PUB %then %do;
%let db=&schema.;
%end;

 

 

libname &connName. SNOW server="<MyCompany>.snowflakecomputing.com"

     user=MyUserName
    pw="***************************"
    DATABASE=&db.
warehouse=REPORTING
schema=DATA_VENDING
role=MyRole
readbuff=1024
insertbuff=1024
dbcommit=0
TRACE=YES
SQLGENERATION=DBMS
conopts='sslmode=required'

;

%mend libname_snowflake;

 

I have seen on the web and the SAS support communities where I can modify the authentication segment to use the SSO with an external browser like below:

 

CONOPTS=('authenticator=EXTERNALBROWSER', 'URL=<your_sso_url>')

 

Has anyone successfully implemented this in SAS 9.4 X64 WIND PRO platform? Please, point me in the right direction. Thanks for the support.
