At the moment HeidiSQL requires three things to connect via SSL: private key, CA certificate and SSL certificate. Using only the SSL-CA certificate of the server should also be an option. According to the MySQL reference manual (5.5, chapter 5.5.8.2-4), it can can be done if the account has no special SSL requirements. It would be really great if HeidiSQL could do this as well.
Thanks in advance,

But, sorry, it does not work... 
See my post here. FYI, I've tested the SSL connection well also with the command line tool:
