It depends on Authentication type, supported by web application.
A lot of web applications use form based authentication.
You may check source of login page, check what variables are used in login form and send these variables using "HTTP POST request" option with URL request test or "Post data" option with HTTP test.
Also, these test methods support Basic/NTLM authentication.
