Hello,

You may have already done this, but you'll need some helper scripts to
populate the ldap directory.  smbldap-tools is very popular and works
quite well.  There may already be a version for your distribution or you
can check at:  https://gna.org/projects/smbldap-tools/ to get the current
source.

Carefully read and follow the documentation.  It's a bit tricky to setup
the first time, but well worth the effort.
