There is the ident acl..

ident responses does not give the hostname.. only operating system
type and user name. (RFC1413)

if you make the ident servers report hostname instead of logged in
username then Squid will happily use this as the ident of the user.

If you use ident then the reported ident of the user is sent to
redirector helpers in the ident column. The same applies to
authenticaiton.
