SNOW-2462946: DOC-10467 Missing "client_store_temporary_credential" parameter in Python connector docs

[insp-gh-eeth]

Hi

While looking into re-using tokens in the Python connector, we came across the client_store_temporary_credential parameter. It's mentioned in various places, but it's missing from the docs for the Python connector: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/python-connector/python-connector-api#label-snowflake-connector-methods-connect

It's mentioned in the Github repo for the connector e.g. here:

snowflake-connector-python/src/snowflake/connector/constants.py

Line 333 in 450b023

PARAMETER_CLIENT_STORE_TEMPORARY_CREDENTIAL = "CLIENT_STORE_TEMPORARY_CREDENTIAL"

It's also mentioned as a change back in April:

snowflake-connector-python/DESCRIPTION.md

Line 100 in 450b023

- For OAuth Token caching: Passing a username to driver configuration is required, and the `client_store_temporary_credential property` is to be set to `true`.

Am I overseeing something in the docs or is the param just missing from the docs?

no @insp-gh-eeth it's just simply missing, unfortunately. we do have a knowledge article for snowflake-cli which explains this but i agree it could be better documented.

Ah, good stuff @sfc-gh-dszmolka, looks like you'll update the docs, nice. I'll leave if from here!

[sfc-gh-dszmolka]

yup that's the plan, to update the API docs, and the internal docs as well. Thanks for pointing this out !
Leaving this open for tracking for now.

Snowflake docs changes in progress; in-repo docs will be addressed on #2626

the PR has been merged which concludes the activities associated with this ticket. The above Snowflake documentation now also reflects the missing params.
