How to tell server that credentials are local server credentials?

Our MySQL server has a db account (e.g. "bizuser") that I'm authenticating with from a Windows client. I keep getting an error message 

"Access denied for user 'bizuser' @ '<windows client>' (Using password: YES)


I've tried several syntaxes to force the login to understand that the account is local, but I can't figure out how to do it.  I've tried to set the username as

bizuser/<mysqlserv>

bizuser@<mysqlserv>

<mysqlserv>\bizuser


I've installed both DbV 9.5.8 and 12.0.8 but the version alone does not seem to be the issue. The ping for server itself works.


How do I tell the server that the login is a local login?
