SOL-C01 Question #256: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A junior data engineer is having trouble connecting to Snowflake from a Snowflake Notebook using Snowpark. They receive the following error: `snowflake.snowpark.exceptions.SnowparkClientException: (250001 ): Authentication failed: Account is not found. Ensure your account identifier is correct. Account identifiers are case-sensitive.' They have verified their username, password, and database/schema names. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the error and the correct solution?

Options

• AThe user's role does not have sufficient privileges to access the Snowflake account. Grant the user
• BThe account identifier specified in the connection parameters is incorrect or case-sensitive. Verify
• CThe Snowflake JDBC driver is not installed correctly in the Snowflake Notebook environment.
• DThe Snowflake service is currently experiencing an outage. Check the Snowflake Trust site for
• ESnowflake Notebooks do not support password authentication. The user must configure key pair

Explanation

The error message clearly indicates an issue with the account identifier. Account identifiers are case- sensitive, and the error message specifically advises checking it. Option A is less likely since the error is about the account identifier , not general access. The JDBC driver is not directly used with Snowpark (C). An outage (D) is possible but less likely as the specific error points to the account identifier. Password authentication is supported (E).
