This worked for me.

+ (void) setBasicAuth
{
  NSURLCredentialStorage* store = 
    [NSURLCredentialStorage sharedCredentialStorage];

  NSURLCredential* creds = 
    [NSURLCredential credentialWithUser:@"user" 
                               password:@"pass"
                            persistence:NSURLCredentialPersistenceForSession];

  NSURLProtectionSpace* protectionSpace = 
    [[NSURLProtectionSpace alloc] initWithHost:@"your-host" 
                                          port:80 
                                      protocol:@"http" 
                                         realm:@"Your Realm"
                          authenticationMethod:NSURLAuthenticationMethodDefault];

  [store setCredential:creds forProtectionSpace:protectionSpace];
