Hmm.. thinking. HTTP is stateless so there is not really a "login" only
"this request was authorized". But I suppose it should be possible to
rate-limit the access log somehow.

At first I thought maybe this can be done with the session helper, which
can be used in many other such situations. However, the access.log acls
is "fast" and do not support external lookups such as helpers.. so I
guess something need to be coded to support this.

You can do this in the auth helper interface, but unfortunately will
only tell you the login name and timestamp, not from which station or
any other details.

Most easily done as a wrapper around the actual auth helper.

#!/usr/bin/perl 
$|=1; 
use IPC::Open2;
my ($in, $out, $logfile);
my $logfilename = shift @ARGV;
open($logfile, ">>$logfilename") || die;
select $logfile; $|=1;
open2($out,$in,@ARGV) || die;
while(<STDIN>) {
  my ($login, $password) = split;
  print $in $_; $ans = <$out>; 
  print $logfile time(). " $login $ans\n";
  print $ans;
}


Used in front of the auth helper in squid.conf together with a log file name. 

auth_param basic /usr/local/squid/libexec/logauth.pl /usr/local/squid/var/logs/auth.log /usr/local/squid/libexec/squid_ldap_auth -b ...
