[midPoint] administrator can't log in

[Stacy Brock]

Try this:

- On a fresh VM, install midPoint
- Start midPoint, which will set up the embedded database, generate 
config.xml (and other files like keystore.jceks)
- Stop midPoint
- Set up the external MySQL database, including running the 
mysql-3.8-all-utf8mb4.sql script
- Edit config.xml to point at the external MySQL DB
- Start midPoint

Let us know how it goes. If you continue to have trouble, a copy of your 
config.xml (with credentials redacted) would be helpful.
