You really should be looking at Samba and winbind.  There we handle all
the messy details of dealing with AD. 

If you want (say, for reasons of reducing dependence on AD) to use your
own replicated directory, then this is quite possible (and OpenLDAP
would be a fine DS for that purpose), but this gets painful with
passwords etc.
