How to use mariadb instead of sqlplus using sqlnet configuration files

currently I can access a database on a remote server using Oracle's instant client "sqlplus" The connection is dependent on a couple of configuration files in: $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin which are called sqlnet.ora and ldap.ora The ldap.ora file has contents of: DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT="" DIRECTORY_SERVERS=(:,:) DIRECTORY_SERVER_TYPE=OID the sqlnet.ora file has entries of: NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN= NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH=(LDAP, TNSNAMES) I would like to be able to connect with mariadb client instead of Oracle's client, but I don't know how to configure this. Could someone help me please?
