to add authentication you would add the basicAuthentication, username, 
and password attributes to the resource elements of your changeset, for 
example:

<add>
<resource 
source='http://localhost:8080/drools-guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/package/mortgages/LATEST'
           type='PKG' basicAuthentication="enabled" username="admin" 
password="admin" />
</add>

There is no way to obfuscate the username and password in the changeset 
xml. The values however get encoded (base64) before they get sent over 
the wire from your
client app to guvnor to get the resources.
You could create a read-only user for the particular package you are 
pulling from and use its credentials..or dont store the changeset.xml 
within your app and get it from a secure location on your network for 
example
