The vdc_options table is a table containing the configuration values of the engine. Among those, there are directory-related configuration values:
engine=# select * from vdc_options where option_name in ('DomainName','LdapServers','LDAPSecurityAuthentication','LDAPProviderTypes','AdUserName','AdUserPassword');
option_id | option_name | option_value | version
-----------+----------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+---------
9 | AdUserName | domain1:user1,domain2:user2 | general
10 | AdUserPassword | domain1:password1,domain2:password2 | general
114 | LdapServers | deomain1:ldap_server_address1,domain2:ldap_server_address2 | general
64 | DomainName | domain1,domain2 | general
112 | LDAPSecurityAuthentication | domain1:GSSAPI,domain2:SIMPLE | general
115 | LDAPProviderTypes | domain1:activeDirectory,domain2:ipa | general
AdUserName is the user that will be used to query the directory.
AdUserPassword is the password that will be used to query the directory.
LdapServers - the LDAP server that will be used (only one is allowed in this configuration. This configuration is optional. If empty, we will check the DNS for LDAP SRV records for the relevant domain).
DomainName - the names of the domains
LDAPSecurityAuthentication - SIMPLE/GSSAPI
LDAPProviderTypes - the provider type (activeDirectory/ipa/rhds/itds)
All the entries above are per-domain, in the format domain1:value1, domain2:value2 and etc....
If manually adding a GSSAPI domain, you also need to supply a krb5.conf file, and put it in the ENGINE_ETC path. If adding a SIMPLE domain that isn't neccesary.
We haven't worked with simple domain for a while now, so hopefully it will work for you as expected.
Let me know if you have further questions.
