Appears so.  That is, the above question doesn't appear to
be specific to OpenLDAP.  This may not be obvious to you,
maybe this answer to your question will clarify:
        OpenLDAP provides no specific support to "hook a
        linux system into an ActiveDirectory environment."

I would suggest you ask such general questions in a forum
specific to Linux systems or Active Directory.

I note that you might look into pam_ldap.  Question regarding
pam_ldap can be addressed to pamldap@padl.com.  Or, if you
are trying to mimic AD using open source software (including
OpenLDAP) you like should look into SambaTNG and related
efforts.

Correct, hence the suggestion in regards to that particular
question.
