 &lt;p&gt;Select from &lt;code&gt;mysql.global_priv&lt;/code&gt; or use &lt;code&gt;SHOW CREATE USER&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

+Prior to MariaDB 11.6, the plugin only checked whether the OS socket user id matched the MariaDB user name, and ignored the authentication string.
+
+From MariaDB 11.6, the authentication string, if present, will be compared with the socket&#39;s user name, and authentication can proceed if there&#39;s a match. The [[server-system-variables/#external_user|external_user]] system variable will contain the OS user in this case.

+For example, assuming an OS user of &#39;bob&#39;:
