No, not at all.

What you MUST do is to tell each Squid who is to forward the 
authentication to a parent proxy that it trusts the parent with login 
information by using the login=PASS option.

This does not require authentication to be configured at the first proxy.

The basic authentication scheme will work fine in this configuration (the 
LDAP helper is a basic authentication scheme helper). 

The digest scheme should in theory also work but is not tested.


Only if you use the "login=*:..." method is authentication required at the 
first proxy. This method is required for the NTLM scheme as NTLM can not 
be proxied.
