I have this exact setup running for a customer. I'm using Clear OS (based on Red Hat) because it has a nice LDAP interface. I have the NAS set as an iSCSI target, but NFS works too. OwnCloud will not install on Cent 6.4 because of an unpatched PHP issue (6.5 may work). I used Ubuntu server to host OwnCloud for that reason. LDAP integration is simple, and the solution works.
