I don't think you can. The way the authentication is handled,
independantly from the authentication scheme is, that way:
- prerequisite : any access to an http resource throug a proxy that
require authentication has to be done with the "Keep connection alive"
flag set on.
- The client issues first a GET (going through the proxy server) set the
proxy info (IP/port) but no user or password.
- The the HTTP server replies with a 407 error code (indicating that the
proxy requires authentication) and includes in the header the
authentication scheme expected (basic, NTLM, Kerberos, ...)
- The client then starts to handle the authentication protocol and once
access granted, re-issues the GET

I don't think Multiuser could handle this scheme. It would have been a
different story if you have pass the user name/password in the initial
request.
