Below should help. If you have more specific questions about squid, I would check their documentation as they explain it pretty well on how to do external authentication.
Here is a brief overview on how you can setup squid to use radius authentication. In squid.conf under the auth_param section, add something to point to your external radius authentication module. You should search the web for one that does radius, I found one that is a perl script that works well. http://www.devet.org/squid/proxy_auth/contrib/auth.pl example config: auth_param basic program /usr/local/bin/rad_auth.pl Then in your ACL configuration, you put a line to tell it to require authentication acl password proxy_auth REQUIRED Then you add that ACL to your http_access statement http_access allow password Now your squid proxy should prompt users for authentication which will then be sent over to radius. You then configure radius to authenticate the users. Make sure you add the IP of your proxy server and the secret you define in the perl script to the clients.conf file.
