I deployed the PacketFence ZEN OVA template (PacketFence-ZEN-v10.3.0.ova) 
through Vmware Vcenter 6.7 navigated to https://ipaddress:1443/ and ran through 
the setup wizard. I generated an admin password in Lastpass, copied it into the 
web interface of Pfsense, and used the view password eyeball button to confirm 
that it matched. After I finished the setup wizard, it would not let me login 
with the username admin and the password that I set. It said, "Wasn't able to 
authenticate those credentials".
 
I found this bug, which looks like it's been patched 
https://github.com/inverse-inc/packetfence/issues/5390. During the setup I set 
my time zone to America/Chicago. When I use the Vmware console to login to the 
terminal with the default credentials (root and p@ck3tf3nc3) and run the date 
command, I see that the timezone is CDT which is correct. I connected to the 
database (that password worked fine) and ran "SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 
'time_zone';" which showed the timezone set to system. I also rebooted to see 
if that would help, and it did not.
 
I deleted the VM and deployed the template again. This time I was very careful 
to copy the password into the admin field. I even used the button below the 
password field to copy it out and verify that it matched. Same problem, after 
the install, I couldn't login as admin. It says, "Wasn't able to authenticate 
those credentials". Where should I go from here?
