While it's true that the default username is: administrator@${SSO-Domain} in majority of cases the ${SSO-Domain} is "vsphere.local". But our code (and what virsh displays then) says it's just "administrator". This is wrong also from a different POV: the username must contain the suffix no matter what and our default suggests otherwise.
