You'd normally just do this when setting up the datasource in the cf
administrator. If for some reason you can't do that, you can add the
username and password to a database section in the application
configuration, e.g.

[database]
username = dbusername
password = dbpassword

Add this at the end of your config file, after all other settings.

The database section of the application configuration file is optional
and is only used override system wide settings for your DBMS (for
example to force a character string data type other than simply
character varying) or provide a username and password to connect to the
database (if you can't provide it as part of the datasource).
