It really depends on your environment, I can't tell what would work for you.
Note that you don't need the LDAP plugin to authenticate against an
ActiveDirectory. Authentication is done w/ Apache, and although it can
use the same ActiveDirectory, this step does not involve the LDAP
plugin

The LDAP plugin is useful for two purposes:
  * to manage the groups of users in LDAP: for example, your
ActiveDirectory contains group of users, and you want to grant Trac
permissions for these groups.
  * to store all the Trac permissions in the LDAP directory, the
rationale for this is to use an existing LDAP management tool to
administrate Trac permissions, rather than relying on the Trac tools.

The LDAP plugin is useless if you simply want to use the LDAP
directory to authenticate users. As an example, we're using Trac at my
office and Apache is set up to use the LDAP enterprise directory for
authentication: all the users who are subscribed to a LDAP-managed ML
are granted access to the Trac server. The LDAP plugin is not
installed on this server, as LDAP is just about authentication here.

As long as the HTTP authentication realm is the same for both Trac and
your IDE, it should work. Passwords are about authentication, not
permissions.
