See the Squid FAQ.

Note: You CAN NOT use authentication in a transparent proxy. For
authentication to work the browser MUST BE CONFIGURED to use a proxy.

The first decision you need to take before continuing is from where
Squid should get information about the user accounts:

  * Local file (ncsa_auth)

  * LDAP directory (ldap_auth)

  * NT Domain (winbind)
