> When logging in with admin credentials (and no corresponding _users doc, if that is important), the response of the POST to _session has the name property set to null:
>   {"ok":true,"name":null,"roles":["_admin"]}
> It should be the name of the admin instead, like it does when logging in with a standard user:
>   {"ok":true,"name":"standarduser","roles":[]}
> Requesting the _session object after logging in with an admin, the name is proper set:
> {"ok":true,"userCtx":{"name":"adminuser","roles":["_admin"]},"info":{"authentication_db":"_users","authentication_handlers":["oauth","cookie","default"],"authenticated":"cookie"}}
