Liz, Username and password are retrieved as system properties. If you are using commandline tool to connect to database, you need to add -Dxindice.xmlrpc.user=<username> -Dxindice.xmlrpc.password=<password> VM parameters to the command line for executing commandline tool, which is located n either bin/xindice or bin/xindice.bat, depending on your OS.
If you're using Xindice 1.2m1 or later, there was a problem with setting username and authentication was not working. It is fixed now and fix is available in latest trunk.
