Here is a sample code to do that:

Base64Encoder encoder = new Base64Encoder(username+":"+password);
String        coded   = encoder.processString();

HttpCredential credential;
Base64Encoder  encoder;
	credential = HttpFactory.makeCredential("Basic");
	encoder = new Base64Encoder(username+":"+password);
	credential.setAuthParameter("cookie", encoder.processString());

        request.setAuthorization(credential);
