No , that doesn't make sense, at all.

SQUID is designed to enforce auth. and then allow http access,
per installed rules.
There is no way to have access first, and then log a username.
Btw , who would stop anyonone, in such a condition, to log any username ?

Since apparently none-auth, does not have a penalty anymore in
