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.
