server: Mysql auth with root doesn't work and the real error is hidden

Lines 40 to 41 in d5c0d8b

	username: root
	password:

I couldn't auth with root with nor without a password, the following error was printed.

ERRO[2019-03-23 13:07:41] [Lifetime Mngt Thread]: Failed to get all mitigation from DB
ERRO[2019-03-23 13:07:41] [Lifetime Mngt Thread]: Failed to get all Aliases from DB

For some reason alias.go doesn't print the auth error, even though there is a log.Printf line but I was able to get the real error by adding withError to active_acl_alias.go. The error was:

error="Error 1698: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'"

I don't think the auth issue with root is critical as nobody should do that anyway. However it seems the error logging is somehow broken.

Dear sir, have you solved this problem?
When I connected the server and client, the same error occurred.
How to solve the problem of authentication failure?

No, I never did.
