test(enterprise) use a static password

Simplify test RBAC environment by just always using a static password.
The test doesn't need actual security, and the main qualities its
password needs is (a) to exist and allow RBAC testing at all and (b) to
be obvious to the tester during manual runs, in case test failures
require manual inspection of the admin API to clear.
