How to Join Mac OSX workstation as AD domain member

Does anyone know how to join a Mac OSX (High Sierra 10.13.5) workstation to a Samba4 domain, or know of a wiki/howto document describing this process? Web searches have turned up plenty of info on running OSX as a Samba4 server, but I can't find anything on joining as a domain member.

I do believe I've actually joined (Bind in apple-speak) the workstation itself to the domain using the System Preferences > Users & Groups > Network Account Server.  That does show my domain name with a green dot (OK status?).  And when I list network computer on the AD server it does list this Mac computer.

Problem is, I cannot log in as a domain user. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what.

Tried that. Didn't work. I wonder if there is a logfile on the Mac that gives more information as to what's wrong?
