Basic authentication (and the API support, that you're trying to use) was only released with 5.3.0 so it wouldn't work with 5.2. 5.2 only had the authentication and authorization frameworks, and shipped with Kerberos authentication plugin out of the box.
There are a few known issues with that though, and a 5.3.1 release is just around the corner.
