Do you have an ACL in squid.conf allowing an AD group to use squid, and is your user part of that group? for example, in my config... acl inet_group external group_nt squid_proxy acl Auth proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access allow Auth inet_group (where inet_group is the acl name, external points to the external auth helper you defined (nt_group in your case), and squid_proxy is the AD group of which you must belong) This may not be the best way to do it, but it works for me.
