The manager name is normally only informal for logging purposes.

The password can be set using manager_password in squid.conf.

There is however an alternate approach in cachemgr access controls. Make
use of proxy_auth.

First define an ACL of authorized managers

acl managers proxy_auth joe csoula henrik

Then replace the default "http_access allow manager localhost" by

http_access allow manager localhost managers

For more information on how to configure proxy authentication, see the
FAQ.
