If it works from the command line then it must work from squid.conf as
well. Make sure you use the exact same line in both.

Not automatically in "Basic" authentication. The closest you have here is
the ability to have MSIE (and most other browsers) save the entered
password.

If you want fully transparent authentication then look into NTLM
authentication via Samba-3. This is the "Microsoft Integrated Login"
mechanism also supported by MS ISA and IIS.

Probably LDAP and your browser does not agree on what encoding to use for
the user name. If I am not mistaken LDAP uses UTF-8.

Please use "log_mime_hdrs" to inspect what your browser is sending. What
you are looking for is the "Proxy-Autorization" header which carries the
login and password in base64 encoding.
