So I *think* what I have to do in my case based on some experimentation with this on a clean VM is: * delete existing _users database (it was created via port 5984) * create new _users database on port 5986 * re-create user accounts On the clean VM I was messing with this morning nuking the _users database didn't cause any issues but is there anything I should be aware of with that process?
