What I did in the past was use the samba RPMs from enterprisesamba.org:

http://www.enterprisesamba.org/samba-packages/red-hats-rhel/rhel-6/

With the LDAP rpms that come with CentOS.

I also used the application called LDAP Account Manager to add new users
and groups:

https://www.ldap-account-manager.org/

In my case, I was doing e-mail in a separate system ... but several
e-mail systems read from LDAP accounts, so this can be used for e-mail
accounts too if needed.
