[MariaDB discuss] Re: possible bug in dropping max connections

Is it possible that someone of mariadb checks what happens when the max_user_connections is exhausted, because to me it looks like further requests are handled as being 'max_connections' which defeats the purpose of max_user_connections

No, further requests are rejected with an error: https://github.com/MariaDB/server/blob/10.5/mysql-test/main/user_limits.resu... Unless the connecting user has the CONNECTION ADMIN privilege: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/grant/#connection-admin Regards, Sergei Chief Architect, MariaDB Server and security@mariadb.org
