Android: post to a password protected server

Question

I am trying to send information from my Android device to my php server. I followed this tutorial (http://www.codeofaninja.com/2013/04/android-http-client.html), but then realized there is nowhere to specify my useID and password to log into the server. a lot of search but could not get anywhere. I am new to both Android and Apache. Please advice, thanks.

use case: if I log in from winscp to my php server, I need to enter user id and password. but if I make a httppost call (to execute a .php script located on my server) from my android program, I do not really need the previous user id and password as long as I know the exact url to that php script. is this correct? — user3527137, Apr 17 '14 at 01:03
