Hi,
What you are talking about is not possible in a normal straightforward
way. What you need to understand is that squid maintains its own cache /
authentication pool or information about authenticated users through the
authenticate program that you specify. Hence the user needs to enter the
login / password the first time the user tries to go through the proxy OR
when the authentication TTL expires.
What you need to do is to develop your own authentication module, and when
it authenticates the user, you need to find out the allowed amount of
hours for the user in the background. This needs to be checked and updated
maybe in a Mysql backend, coz by default squid does not has any
realtime accounting features. You can surely process the logs afterwards
and update the database.
For these reasons, what you need is not possible in a straightforward way.
