To authenticate for the Metadata API, use the Login() method in the Web Services API to obtain a sessionId.  Then set the sessionId in the SessionHeader for your Metadata API requests, just like in the Web Services API.

The Web Services API's Login() method will also return the Metadata API endpoint URL where you should send Metadata API requests.
