Ah. Thats not mentioning auth because the *default* is that no password
/ authentication is required, but some "reports" that affect Squid
behaviour are disabled.

Your setup needs Basic auth because you explicitly configured
cachemgr_passwd to apply for _all_ reports. Which is covered in the
section a few below that one about the default config.

I've updated that sectino to mention how Basic is involved.
