[LON-CAPA-admin] domain coordinator cannot log in on new system

[Lucas, Mark]

Are there any issues with the  /etc/hosts file?  This was an issue just
yesterday(?) and I think I've had problems getting everything right
in there before.

I was also working with Stuart to implement shibboleth authentication and had it working, but munged the system after that, so I have wiped it completely, reinstalled the OS and lon-capa.
