Then you may need to make an exception allowing this program access
without requiring authentication, or speak to the author of this program
to add support for authentication.

Probably. If the program only accesses a specific site then an exception
can easily be done allowing access to this site without authentication

acl special_site dstdomain ...
http_access allow special_site

before where you require authentication in your http_access rules.

If the program navigates different sites which can not be easily
defined then you may need to identify the program as such. Enable
log_mime_hdrs and then pay attention to the User-Agent header when using
the program. If there is something which uniquely identifies the
application then you can use the browser acl type in the same manner as
dstdomain is used above to create an exception based on the application.
