You'll need to create a database with usernames, passwords and expiry information. You'll then need to write a basic authentication helper for Squid which reads the user/pass given, checks it against the table and returns OK or ERR. Once you've got that (and its easy to test - you can run the helper yourself at the command line and just enter user<space>password<enter> at each line, obviously substituting the real keys for the <space> and <enter> bits. :) you can configure up Squid to use it.
