Hi Drew,
In order to be able to add users, you will have to use the engine-manage-domains tool and setup a domain.
a domain uses kerberos authentication and LDAP for authorization.
engine-manage-domains supports several ldap vendors , among are - active directory, IPA, RHDS, openLdap.
once will add a user at a given domain that will be used to authenticate during searching for users and groups.
For example, if you have a domain named example.com, which is which has a machine a.example.com which co-hosts ldap server (IPA) + KDC, and the dns records for kerberos and ldap are properly set, and you will like to add user named "myuser" then you can use :
engine-manage-domains add --user=myuser --domain=example.com --provider=IPA.
if you want to be able to login with this user, and not just with the admin of of "internal", please also specify --add-permissions

Hope this helps,
Yair
