Name	Assign a unique name to the Snowflake connection. This name will later be used to select the connection in transfer objects and triggers.

Private Key	Only for Private Key Pair: Select the user’s private key file.
Private Key Password	Only for Private Key Pair: Password for the private key file—required only if the key is encrypted.
