The vdmutil command includes options to specify the user name, domain, and password to use for
authentication. You must use these authentication options with all vdmutil command options except for
--help and --verbose.

--authDomain

--authAs option.
--authPassword Password for the Horizon administrator specied in the --authAs option. Typing "*"
