Can I set acl to authorize specific computer name by http_access directive ?

Maybe. That depends on whether there is any mechanism for Squid to identify the "computer name".



I used usually acl <name<> src <ip> but I’d like to specify Netbios name, so I Thought  as client IP address is sent to squid It’ll be the same thing with pc name.


Your thought is both right and wrong.

NetBOIS name plays the same role as IP address - both are the "address" of the client machine in their relevant protocols.

However, Squid does not use or implement NetBIOS protocol to talk to clients. Squid only uses IP based protocols.

Sometimes NTLM credentials contain the NetBIOS name of a "NetBIOS node" machine.

Or IDENT protocol can be used to directly query the client about its name. *IF* that protocol is supported and enabled on the client.
