to always have squid be the "master" authenticator, is it possible to define more than one auth_param basic program, assign them with acl-like names and use multiple proxy_auth directives with http_access and url_regex definitions? the aim is, to have one auth_param for every url_regex match.
Today the login(and password) name must be unique for the whole Squid, no matter what the user requests. Once logged in you can use proxy_auth etc to limit what users may access what, but the same login can not have different passwords depending on what is being requested.
However, MARA Systems is collecting bids for implementing multiple authentication "realms" within the same Squid allowing different user databases to be used depending on what is requested where. Implementation will start when there is sufficient interest.
