[Users] Problem running engine-manage-domain on oVirt 3.1.0-4

[Trevor Galloway]

Thanks Itamar for the suggestion - however the `-action=edit` fails since
the currently configured user account is inactive within the active
directory - it looks as if there is an initial authentication that needs to
validate before the edit can proceed ... :(

Hence my query about being able to reset the underlying username that
engine-manage-domains uses?

Thanks
Trevor
