What I do is take one of the access.log lines and read through the squid.conf (whole thing) to see what squid would do with that transaction. Most 40* status problems are with http_access ordering, so quickly spotted.

If you can provide those details in full im happy to do so for you. Or someone experienced with a similar config may spot the issue.

If that is not possible, then you will need to do the above yourself. debug_options ALL,6 can be used to get a cache.log trace to read if you are not confident doing it by-eye or to double-check the expectations.

You should not have to. NTLM is worse than basic in many regards.

If basic has the right credentials from client (check that) and producing a 407/401 then you have a config issue somewhere.

May not be in squid.conf though, could be LDAP service account, or other permissions in the network between squid and the auth backend. The -d helper option should help track that kind of thing down.

FYI; LDAP is not an auth type. It is just a protocol for contacting the database backend where you store the user account credentials. There may be other ways to contact the aurh backend if necessary. But since your manual test worked I agree it should work for squid too.
