After adding an administrator user via LDAP, how can the new account be used to interact with vCenter?

The newly added administrator user can log in to the vCenter Web management interface directly or be used to authenticate to the vSphere API for programmatic control. This circumvents the need to crack or reuse the original admin password, providing full access to manage virtual machines and other resources. This technique is part of a broader attack chain discussed in the vSphere Development Guide series.
