After having established a MySQL or MariaDB connection, HeidiSQL offers to launch a command line window (located in the "Tools" menu). This executes mysql.exe from the directory which is set in Tools > Preferences > Miscellaneous. The clue is that HeidiSQL passes all connection parameters from the current connection to that command line, including host/user/password, named pipes and SSL settings.



Although HeidiSQL is a pure GUI, there are situations in which you benefit from a text based window, without the myriad of GUI controls Heidi offers.

To get this feature, you just need to update to the latest build (Help > Check for updates).

Starting with MySQL 5.5.7 or MariaDB 5.2, the server allows the client to authenticate via plugin. HeidiSQL now fully supports establishing such connections, by providing an exported method called mysql_authentication_dialog_ask, which is automatically invvoked by libmysql.dll, if the server says so during the connection handshake.

Curious how that works? Here's a simple example:

1. Be sure to have the "plugins" directory in C:\Program files\HeidiSQL\, and the dialog.dll. This is done automatically when installing a newer beta build from the download page.

2. On your server, install the plugin "dialog.dll":

INSTALL PLUGIN three_attempts SONAME 'dialog.dll';

3. On your server, create a new user which authenticates via this plugin:

CREATE USER test_dialog IDENTIFIED VIA three_attempts …

In MySQL you can restrict users to connect only via SSL settings. HeidiSQL's user manager now adds support for these settings, which include cipher, subject and issuer. You can also select X509 certificate, in which case cipher etc. do not matter. To get this new feature, you just need to update to the latest build (see Help > Check for updates).
