[Samba] SAMBA AD and Google Cloud Directory Sync

I've successfully setup SAMBA AD following the guide at jimshaver.net and
have been able to create all of my users without a problem. When I launch
GCDS and attempt to test the LDAP connection via LDAP+SSL via port 636 I
get the following error:

*[2017-06-02 13:32:34,537] [SwingWorker-pool-1-thread-5] [DEBUG]
[plugin.ldap.AbstractLdapHandler] javax.naming.AuthenticationException:
[LDAP: error code 49 - Simple Bind Failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE]*
*[2017-06-02 13:32:34,537] [SwingWorker-pool-1-thread-5] [ERROR]
[plugin.ldap.AbstractLdapHandler] Failed to execute query because the
object at Base DN: "OU=Test,DC=dc,DC=org" is missing or inaccessible.*
*[2017-06-02 13:32:34,537] [SwingWorker-pool-1-thread-5] [DEBUG]
[page.ldap.LdapTestConnectionWorker] RuntimeException in executeRule:
Failed to execute query because the object at Base DN:
"OU=Test,DC=dc,DC=org" is missing or inaccessible.*

As a test I've enabled Anonymous browsing and the base dn of "dc=dc,dc=org"
is able to be queried however, it still won't find any OU giving me the
same error "is missing or inaccessible".

I've reached out to Google but they were little help and seemed frustrated
that I was attempting to use SAMBA4.

Has anyone successfully used GCDS with Samba4 acting as AD?
