What exactly are you meaning?
  you want your Squid to be limited to ne user account at a time?
  you want to limit clients to one connections at a time?
  you want to prevent two users having the same username but different
passwords?

HTTP only authenticates per request using a single auth header. So there
cannot be concurrent logins on one request. Also the whole system is
stateless, so cross-request states are not easily detectable.
