No, not at all.

What you MUST do is to tell each Squid who is to forward the
authentication to a parent proxy that it trusts the parent with login
information by using the login=PASS option.

This does not require authentication to be configured at the first proxy.

The basic authentication scheme will work fine in this configuration (the
LDAP helper is a basic authentication scheme helper).

The digest scheme should in theory also work but is not tested.

Only if you use the "login=*:..." method is authentication required at the
first proxy. This method is required for the NTLM scheme as NTLM can not
be proxied.
