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.
