Try this  
http://www.couyon.net/1/post/2012/4/enabling-ldap-usergroup-support-and-authentication-in-centos-6.html

I am using it with RHEL/Centos, LDAP is 389 DS and everything works.
Only problem I have found is, that on RHEL/Centos prior to 5.7 (or 5.6, 
can't remember which version), I need to configure 'pure' LDAP 
authentication instead of SSSD.
