FWIW, I have a similar setup working. I have added PAM entries so that 
PAM allows authenticating through the winbind daemon. Winbind is part of 
Samba and allows authenticating against an Active Directory server. So 
the first step is to get winbind working, see e.g. 
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/winbind.html.
