Using external_acl_type
(http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/external_acl_type/) and deny_info
(http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/deny_info/) you can redirect
those clients that are not authenticated to the page that performs the
authentication. Your external_acl_type can return a username which will
be used in the logs.

Perhaps my response to a similar query at
http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/201001/0331.html
will give you a good starting point.
