You need to start with first getting the authentication to work. Then from
there it is a relatively easy path to detail the access controls using
groups.

LDAP group based access controls is done using squid_ldap_group. Start by
reading the manual (man page). The most tricky part (apart from
copy-pasting data from the squid_ldap_auth parameters) is figuring out the
search filter for finding the proper group in your LDAP directory.

Basic auth helpers expects the following input, as documented in
squid.conf:

username <space> password <enter>
