You are confusing topics slightly I think..

ident is getting the users login name via the ident protocol, not
authentication (login+password).

for authentication you need to use the proxy_auth acl type, and configure
the appropriate authentication helper allowing Squid to verify the
login+password. See the Squid FAQ chapter on authentication.
