You use squid_ldap_auth for the authentication (login + password), then
squid_ldap_group for authorization (login + group).

The two is called from different directives in squid.conf. squid_ldap_auth
is called from auth_param, while squid_ldap_group is called from the
external_acl directive. Se the manual of each tool for details.
