Powerpivot Odata feed provide credentials

I created a OData web services which are hosted in a secure server, to access these services, user need to provide credentials which then gets authenticated using cookie (TMG Fore Front Server Forms)

How can I provide credentials to Table Import Wizard > Connect to a Data Feed ?

As I get 401 when I enter svc and do test connection.

Update

Quiet weird but it was giving me 401 if button clicked after putting url into it, but now I tried from start again, instead of adding url, clicked on advance button and this is what I can see now,

enter image description here

now if I add password and userid, I get this error,

============================
Error Message:
============================

The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

Call Stack:

since I happen to know this is a sharepoint based solution you have been working on I think this should be relevant ...

... and for power pivot add on in excel ...

... clicking on the option "from odata feed" in that menu gives you options to build a query, you can also specify the credentials.

Setting up the query gives you the ability to do this ...
