You need the OpenLDAP libraries if you want to use the LDAP helpers for
Squid.
You do not need the OpenLDAP server or clients installed.

LDAP is only possible in the Basic authentication scheme where the users
is asked for their login.
If you want to use automatic login then you need to use the NTLM scheme,
and here the recommended approach is to install Samba-3 and have the Squid
server join your windows domain. See the Squid FAQ on winbind for details.
