If you already have the exact string "login=PASS" in your 'cache_peer
... parent' line, then its not a squid issue. The web server sees the
same auth credentials that squid gets given.

Configure your browser to keep your authentication details longer than a
single object load. ie save the details for the whole site.

It may also be an issue with the sharepoint server not liking a single
IP (ie squid) with many different credentials at once if you have others
using the site through squid.
