Description

While the FQLTool is great, It would appear that the connection options for the FQLTool are limited to user name and password as the only mechanisms for logging in.  There are a few things that I noticed in playing around with the tool...

1. user name and login are possible through the target connection string, but this is not documented in the help.
2. it also appears that the password is put in the log as plain text while executing.
3. we should have the ability to use ssl (such as an ssl option).
4. we should have the ability to specify different auth providers, so that those which run on Kerberos etc, can be used.
