Is it possible that whenever a user makes a request to squid server for http browsing, a program gets fired checking some conditions applied on the user and if condition is met then only allow the user to browse.
Yes. By two means
a) The redirector interface, available since Squid-1.X sometime.. This gets called on each and every request.
b) The external acl interface of Squid-2.5 and later. These gets called only to verify that a preset condition is true. i.e. the user is member of certain group in your user directory, or pretty much any other condition you can think up.
the external acl interface is easier and more efficient.
