Why each option
The Domain alias field in vCenter SSO for an Active Directory over LDAP identity source must be set to the domain's NetBIOS name, which allows users to authenticate using the short DOMAIN\username format.
The Domain alias in vCenter SSO corresponds to the NetBIOS (short) name of the Active Directory domain, such as 'CORP' for 'corp.example.com'. This value is what users type before the backslash when logging in with the DOMAIN\username format, and it must match the actual NetBIOS name registered in AD.
The fully qualified domain name (e.g., corp.example.com) belongs in the Domain name field, not the alias field.
vsphere.local is the default built-in SSO domain and has no relevance to an external Active Directory identity source alias.
The alias must reflect the actual NetBIOS name so authentication resolves correctly; an arbitrary user-defined label would cause login failures.
