You need the basic_auth or both.

The basic_auth helpers are responsible for verifying the users passwords
when using Basic HTTP authentication.

The external_acl helper is then used to give users different levels of
access depending on which group they belong to (in case of the LDAP helper
at least).

You need the openldap development libraries and headers installed.
