# Set up the Authorization Code flow for Snowflake
<a name="snowflake-setup-authorization-code-flow"></a>

To use OAuth authentication method, ensure the following setup is complete:
+ **Configure Snowflake OAuth for a custom client** by following the official Snowflake documentation: [Configure Snowflake OAuth for custom clients.](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/oauth-custom) 
+ **Set the correct redirect URI** when creating the Snowflake security integration. For example: If you are creating the connection in the DUB (eu-west-1) region, your redirect URI should be: `https://eu-west-1.console.aws.amazon.com/gluestudio/oauth` 
+ After creating the security integration, retain the following information for use when creating the Glue connection: 
  + OAUTH\_CLIENT\_ID: This value should be provided as User Managed Client Application Client ID on the Glue connection creation page.
  + OAUTH\_CLIENT\_SECRET: This value should be stored in the AWS Secret used for the connection, under the key USER\_MANAGED\_CLIENT\_APPLICATION\_CLIENT\_SECRET.
