First identify the authentication mechanism from your squid.conf. Most
likely ncsa_auth is used. Look for "auth_param" (or
"authenicator_program" in older versions).

If ncsa_auth is used then the argument given to ncsa_auth is the password
file used by your Squid. This password file is maintained with the
htpasswd command from Apache.
