that you should use gmsa for domain-joined containers, but

1. there is no option to provide  
security\_opt:
  - "credentialspec=file:./credentialspecs/gmsaDocker.json"  
in UI

2. If I try to create docker compose yml file and give it to rancher-server, it does not work. containers can not start.
