When I log into the admin area, I see the following greeting in the header:

> Welcome, WxCOfXHmPKFMGo66qBf3Y6oLouQ. 

Well, looks like this is somewhat encoded or encrypted? The correct name of the user should be shown.

Maybe it happens because the admin area does not allow to sign-in via Persona?

This is the standard Django admin behaviour. It is displaying the username in the database. You initially signed in via Persona, which created that gobbledygook username automatically. I have manually gone into the database and changed the username back to something recognizable for you and the other affected admin users, but this isn't something we are going to change in the back end as it would mean modifying the django admin which is something we don't want to do.
