[AlexNiko2016]

Hello!

How to add SSO user through console?

[Finikiez]

What do you mean by 'console'? CLI or anything else?

[SureshKumarMuth]

What is the version ?

You mean , deleted administrator@vsphere.local account ? Do you have alternate administrator account created post installation ? SSO admin account is necessary to login to SSO administration page to perform SSO admin tasks such as creating users etc..
