You didn't mention what server are you using (the procedure varies from server(software) to server).
Anyway, you have to set up basic http authentication on your server side (on your URL).
Since basic authentication is not really secure without SSL I suggest you setup a secure web server also (that is your URL should be https://something...\). It will work, of course, even without SSL (if you just want to try authentication) .
Rex will pick up on it's own if authentication is required and pop-up a username/password dialog, so you don't have to do anything on the client side.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hi William,
Which application are you facing this problem with? (it would run on your Web Logic server)
Rex has been tested with Mondrian - in case you're using the Pentaho demo, authentication is handled with this using a URL similar to: http://localhost:8080/pentaho/Xmla?userid=joe&password=password
Hello everybody
I configure an XMLA with and user and password. My question is, how do i authenticate using this framework.
Actually i connected to xmla only with the url. I need to authenticate with a user and password.
Regardless
