[midPoint] [midpoint] Active/Active Configuration

Hey Pavol,

I switched the repository to the configuration you mentioned, and I could
now access the shadow page. However (minus the task manager config), this
is the same configuration as I previously had where I ran into errors and
then made this thread because of it. For now I'm not seeing any errors in
the log files.

I'll update this thread once I run into issues. As of right now, I'm still
definitely not comfortable moving to active active considering all these
issues. Have you guys seen similar issues before? Or do you believe I've
just misconfigured something?

Thanks,
-F
