This is what I found in FAQ
"23.6 Authentication in accelerator mode
Authentication is by default disabled in acceleartor mode in Squid-2.X due
to conflicts with transparent interception. To enable this feature, at the
top of acl.c add the following line:
#define AUTH_ON_ACCELERATION 1
Then "make install".
This feature is somewhat hidden because
* It hasn't been fully thought over yet. There are issues in caching
when combined with authentication, and more so when there is also
authentication to the backend servers..
* It easilly collides with transparent proxying, and many people
simply refuses to read warnings that a feature cannot be used in a
transparent proxy and try so anyhow.
The whole concept of "acceleration" in Squid is currently being reworked
for the Squid-3.0 release to fix this and a number of other issues."
Is there anything I am missing
