Is your ncsa auth method working correctly. Check that ncsa auth method in command line.

It will deny the specific url access on WORKING. Are you using any other access rules?

If you configured the authentication method and tested successfully,it will ask authentication for all users.
If you want to specifically allow the users as like (user1,user2,..,)

----- squid.conf settings -----
acl spl_users proxy_auth user1 user2
http_access allow spl_users special_url WORKING

If you want to block all users to access the urls at the working time then

----- squid.conf settings -----
< snip>
# Authentication method settings
.............. < snip> .......

# acl rules
acl WORKING time MTWHF 07:30-15:30
acl special_url url_regex ....
# acl to retrieve the users through the ncsa auth method
acl password proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access deny special_url WORKING
http_access allow all

<snip>

do that.
