Connect SQL*Plus with a Wallet (mTLS)

SQL*Plus is a command-line interface used to enter SQL commands. SQL*Plus connects to an Oracle database.

To install and configure the client and connect to the Autonomous AI Database using SQL*Plus with client credentials (mTLS), do the following:

Prepare for Oracle Call Interface (OCI), ODBC and JDBC OCI Connections. See Prepare for Oracle Call Interface, ODBC, and JDBC OCI Connections with Wallets (mTLS).
Connect using a database user, password, and database TNS name provided in the tnsnames.ora file.

For example:

sqlplus adb_user@db2022adb_medium

Note:

The Oracle Wallet is transparent to SQL*Plus because the wallet location is specified in the sqlnet.ora file. This is true for any Oracle Call Interface (OCI), ODBC, or JDBC OCI connection.
If you are connecting to a database using Microsoft Active Directory credentials, then connect using an Active Directory user name in the form of “AD_domain\AD_username” (double quotes must be included), and Active Directory user password. See Use Microsoft Active Directory with Autonomous AI Database for more information.
