[Samba] Authenticating with ldap backend

[Tom Skeren]

Make sure you have the proper schema's loaded in ../etc/openldap/schema 
on the ldap server and that slapd.conf calls them in the right order.  
Also smb.conf needs this line

ldap ssl = start tls. 

This will invoke the tls session which make ldap requests to port 389.
