How to access secured url from ios

I'm trying to access a secure url from ios. Basically url will prompt the user with Username and Password. How can I send username and Password from ios?

My Code Here is the Methods that I'm using to access JSON Parser

- (NSString *)stringWithUrl:(NSURL *)url{
NSURLRequest *urlRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url
                                            cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReturnCacheDataElseLoad
                                        timeoutInterval:30];
// Fetch the JSON response
NSData *urlData;
NSURLResponse *response;
NSError *error;

// Make synchronous request
urlData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:urlRequest
                                returningResponse:&response
                                            error:&error];

// Construct a String around the Data from the response
return [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:urlData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease];}


- (id) objectWithUrl:(NSURL *)url{
SBJsonParser *jsonParser = [[[SBJsonParser alloc]init] autorelease];
NSString *jsonString = [self stringWithUrl:url];

// Parse the JSON into an Object
return [jsonParser objectWithString:jsonString error:nil]; }

Here is the piece of code that I'm retrieving json keys to my dictionary.

- (NSDictionary *) downloadFeed {
id response = [self objectWithUrl:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://mysite.com/Services/Secure.svc/GetList?id=2127"]];

NSDictionary *feed = (NSDictionary *)response;
return feed; }

Can someone let me know where can I pass the Username and Password to this url?

Either switch to ASIHTTPRequest, which handles Basic authentication simply, or use a NSMutableRequest and set the Authorization header correctly, with a base64 encoded user:password pair.
