Are you trying to authenticate to a specific service, or implement authentication?
Consider looking into SASL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Authentication_and_Security_Layer

What issue are you having with this?
Generally the client sends a password (string) to the server. The server performs some algorithm on that string (like MD5 hash) and compares the result against a stored value. This way the server doesn't have the password itself stored and so passwords can't be leaked.
