From the vstechs.com website:

'solutions using cutting edge technologies'

Again, I am sorry, but you cannot describe using Samba with openldap as
a 'cutting edge technology', especially as Samba is actively
advising anyone not to use openldap, it is really a legacy method.

You may be better off using the idmap_nss backend, but this will
require you to create all the users on the file server.

Is there no AD server available ?
