There is no concept of "beginning of each authenticated session" in
HTTP. The user authenticates on each and every request, and there is no
concept of a logout in HTTP.

This said, yes it is possible. To do this you use a redirector which
keeps track of "active" users, redirecting the first request from a user
who have not been seen for your decided inactivity timeout, on the first
request each day or whatever other definition of "beginninf of
authenticated session" you select.

Another alternative is to use a proxy.pac script, redirecting the first
request of each browser session to a message page. This is probably
better in terms of functionality as it does not disturb other
applications such as anti-virus update agents etc, only normal browsing.
There was information about such proxy.pac script posted on squid-users
some time ago.
