According to http://mapserver.org/mapcache/config.html you can simply add
the athorization header to the http section:

<source name="xyz" type="wms">

  <http>

    <headers>

      <Authorization>Basic [base64_encoded value from
name,password]</Authorization>

    </headers>

  </http>

</source>

You may use http://www.base64encode.org/ to encode your Username and
Password, written as username,password -> encodes to
dXNlcm5hbWUscGFzc3dvcmQ=, so the full configuration for this login
will be:

<Authorization>Basic dXNlcm5hbWUscGFzc3dvcmQ=</Authorization>
