Issue details

While using the snowflake provider with externalbrowser authentication, hundreds of tabs are opened in the browser as it re-authenticates for every resource being planned/previewed or imported. This makes the provider very hard to use with externalbrowser authentication.

Same issue in terraform-snowflake-provider Snowflake-Labs/terraform-provider-snowflake#1700

Hi @anitalySuper. Thanks for reporting this issue here. This provider is actually a projection of the Snowflake's TF provider, so we will resolve this as soon as they do.

I can confirm that this now works.

To get this to work, it requires the following setup:

• https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/admin-security-fed-auth-use#using-connection-caching-to-minimize-the-number-of-prompts-for-authentication-optional
• SNOWFLAKE_CLIENT_STORE_TEMPORARY_CREDENTIAL=1

Thanks for reporting that @bschwedler.
