I enabled
- Active directory (no specific setting)

- LDAPv3 (add a configuration with port and authentication info and
mapped through Active Directory - use "Modify" for the details)

- SMB (with the proper group and WINS host).

Yes.

I'm using v3, LDAP through Active directory (no path specified), not
through DHCP, I added the address and port of the server manually, as
well as my login and password which are required here to access the
server.

Well, these details might be interesting/helpful for other people with
similar problems. It's not the first time the problem rizes and probably
not the last time either. It took me a very long time to get this to
work here. These settings are not so obvious and even on our Network, I
couldn't find a net-admin with all the information I needed to set that
up properly.

Yeah, I know the feeling :-\
