Sebastan,
               Let me take am example to clarify how ASA works with AAA for
cut-through proxy.

aaa-server tacacs-servers protocol tacacs+
aaa-server tacacs-servers (inside) host 10.10.10.10 cisco
aaa-server tacacs-servers (inside) host 10.10.10.11 cisco
aaa authentication include any inside 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 0 0
tacacs-servers
aaa authentication exclude udp/53 inside 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 0 0
tacacs-server
aaa authentication secure-http-client

Remember that only Telnet,ssh,ftp,http and https can actually trigger a
prompt. In the configuration above you are allowing(exclude command) dns to
pass through so that users on the inside can resolve addresses before being
prompted for user authentication. The (Match command) is matching
the networks that need to be authenticated. 10.10.10.0/24 is the inside
network(secure) of the ASA. You can also use ACLs to trigger authentication
process(gives more granularity). You can also enable authorisation and
accounting on end user connection through the firewall using ACS server.
