   It's a bit problematic, I woudl very much prefer to have an easy way to 
configure private certificates for it. I think accessing Snowflake without SSL 
is REALLY bad idea - especially that almost by definition it is "somwhere else" 
(Yeah I understand it can be in a private network, but it is not really super 
secure either in this case). I'd only limit no-SSL connections to internal 
communication on the same node or proxy -> webapp where their network is truly 
internal and not accessible by any "human" in the company (which I hardly 
imagine possible when you communicate with Snowflake). 
   
   It might sound excessive but it had already costed Snowflake a lot of 
reputation damage when their MFA was not enforced earlier this year: 
https://www.informationweek.com/cyber-resilience/snowflake-s-lack-of-mfa-control-leaves-companies-vulnerable-experts-say
 - and we can safely assume that "disabling security" should not be easy.
   
   Maybe - if you attempt to do it, you should make sure there is big FAT 
warning generated when any such non-secured connection is attempted - like 
"THIS IS NOT SECURE, MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE NOT CONNECTING TO PRODUCTION 
INSTANCE" or smth.
