Windows is created to work against an Active Directory system, meaning
you have an LDAP authorization and Kerberos authentication. Connecting
Windows to a LDAP for both is problematic to say the least. The
easiest solution is using SAMBA against LDAP and make the Windows
systems login against the SAMBA server.
If you like to make it work with GINA, contact them, and to understand
what is going on you might want to read:

No guarantees, I did my best to document what is happening. Hope I did
it right.

Mac OS X did once work against LDAP, I have no idea what the current
state is. On 10.6.5 go to Preferences, Accounts. Click Login Options
go to Account Server and click Join. Select OpenDirectory utility.
Click LDAPv3 and click the edit button. Click show options, click New,
type the address of your ldap server. Give your account credentias,
pick template RFC 2307, set search base. And your done...

And finaly: None of your problems is OpenLDAP related since it works
on your Linux machine.
