You can do this several ways.

You can use your firewall (which can be Linux) to redirect all port 80,
443 and other select port requests to the proxy.  You can also setup an
autoconfiguration page for most browsers (O'Reilly detailed this
recently) and then add the single registry mod in their login script.

As far as authentication, you can compile Squid with CIFS/AD
authentication.  And there are countless other ways as well.
