First you need to find or write the needed MySQL helpers to query MySQL.

As there is no standard on how logins or groups should be stored in MySQL
there is no standard helpers querying MySQL for the same...

The format of the queries sent to each type of helpers is documented in
the squid.conf comments. For basic configuration guidance see any of the
existing documents on how to configure authentication (only the helpers
differs).
