If you already have your users in your base, you just have to add 
additional classes and attributes to them.

The single sign on idea is exactly the opposite: make all your users 
LDAP entries members of posixAccount and sambaSamAccount classes. And 
use smbkrb5 overlay to ensure password sync.

You'd better start having a correctly configured linux user base in 
OpenLDAP first. Then configure samba to also, and run 'smbpasswd -a' for 
each of your users to add sambaSamAccount attributes to them, as well as 
initialising their windows password.
