There is a fair bit of documentation on the LDAP part in the documentation to
the Squid LDAP helper.

Generic documentation on how to set up authentication can be found in the FAQ.

Problem for your setup is that there is not yet good integration for groups
in Squid. Currently you need to list the valid user names in a file on the
squid server, and refer to this file from a proxy_auth ACL. May be a bit
cumbersome if the list of allowed users is large or changes frequently..
