proxy_auth is HTTP authentication, and there can only be one server
performing HTTP authentication of the user in the request path.

What you can do (but not yet possible in Squid) is to first authenticate
on SSL by using SSL certificates, and then authenticate in HTTP using
username+password.

Or you can authenticate using username+password to the accelerator, and
then let the accelerator authenticate to the real server using
a) The same username+password
b) The same username, but a static (secret) password for all users
c) A static (secret) username+password
