I suggest using nslcd with libpam-ldapd and libnss-ldapd. It has several
advantages¹.

Of course, if Kerberos is used, I'd use libpam-krb5, libpam-heimdal or
libpam-shishi instead of libnss-ldapd. As nslcd recommends libpam-krb5,
it might work together with it.

Or use sssd, in case it can be installed without pulling libsystemd0 /
systemd. But for that you'd need to create configuration file by hand.
It is not very difficult, but it would configure with debconf questions
like nslcd does.

It may be an option to use 389 directory server instead of OpenLDAP.
SUSE just made that move with SLES 15. And it has a GUI. I did not yet
test it more thoroughly, so I have nothing more to say about it.

Of course Samba as AD DC (ideally together with Heimdal instead of MIT
Kerberos) is also an option.

From what I saw with preparing training slides for all of these: I'd
like something simpler, still secure for all of that. Kerberos and LDAP
are hefty regarding their complexity.
