I think I can gues which ;-)

I sort of thought you didn't

Try this:

remove 'security = user' which will make it 'security = auto'

Change these:

     domain logons = yes
     server role = member server

To:

     domain logons = no
     server role = standalone server

This should get you a standalone server with users in LDAP.

I must point out that I have never tried the above, but it should work.
