Similar issue pointed some time ago by Petr Mensik from QA team: if you 
change SSO session max lifespan timeout for example to 1 second, you are 
immediately logged out from admin console and you're not able to login 
again (More accurately you are able to login, but you're logged out 
immediately due to session timeout).

There are likely bunch of similar things and not sure if we can handle 
all of them. Question is if these are not just "theoretic" issues? I 
can't remember any user complain on ML that he accidentally broke his 
keycloak DB by delete/configure something strange in admin console.
