Don't know about Aruba, but other WAP systems are supposedly able to
push proxy settings to the device. That might include credentials to use
with the proxy if you can find where its setup.

It is up to the device itself whether it sends Squid credentials
available to it without bothering the user. Squid sending a 407 is
merely informing the device that credentials are needed for the request
to go through (and what schemes can be used).
