You need this in your global section:

idmap uid = 10000-20000
idmap gid = 10000-20000
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
encrypt passwords = yes

And this in your share section:

valid users = @"BENCHCAN\domain users"

Although this will give all your users access to / which doesn't seem
like a good idea, but I assume this is just for testing.
