It sounds like you are just setting up an export of /home, is this correct?  In order to
authenticate users you will need to setup ldap on the primary server, then you need to
set the workstation to authenticate to ldap, this is completely different than mounting
/home.

Here is a document that may provide you some help:

Hope that helps,
