Use a database as the default repository fails
When a database repository is setup as one of the repositories and is used for login during the WAS startup an exception might be thrown.
If you receive the exception,

- Copy the database driver .jar and .zip files into the install_dir/lib directory.
- Update the JVM classpath to point to database driver jar and zip files.
