username caching is builtin to squid. I don't know the exact logic in
2.2 (before my time w.r.t. hacking squids guts).

You problem is that you are not waiting for a timeout on the users.
There should be a parameter in squid.conf to reduce the lifespan of
cached username entries, so that they are forced to re-authenticate.

squid -k shutdown && sleep 30 && squid
