The message you see is most probably from the kerberos_ldap_group helper and means that when the helper tries to authenticate to AD the AD entry with an attribute userprincipalname=HTTP/<squid-fqdn> can not be found. squid-fqdn being the name you have in your squid keytab ( You can check with klist -kt <squid.keytab> if you use MIT or ktutil -k <squid.keytab> list for Heimdal).
