Thanks Jason for the referrals.
WPAD purpose is solid but there is an option to create a WPAD/PAC file
on the fly and on the background authorize the client user name with a
specific ip.
Some restrictions can be applied on the use of a specific user to be
used only with one IP at a time which is similar to some AD features.

WPAD can be used with authorization and it should be like any other
http\s resource and the user + password can be written inside the url
similar to ftp URL.
Windows specifically has a daemon\script\service that does the
WPAD\PAC file and there for all the limitations are to this service only.
In any other system these limitations might be the same but I didn't
tested any of these yet.

I might add this to my TODO list.

Thanks,
Eliezer
