First of all, HTTP basic authentication has nothing to do with LDAP at all.

Now to your real problem. Installing ldappas (which should really be renamed, 
sigh) is simply not enough. You still have to go to your local site and 
create a pluggable authentication utility (PAU). In it you can configure your 
authentication methods and the authentication data source, which would be 
your LDAP connection.
