htaccess Digest authentication

I'd like to protect a folder by .htaccess. The following doesn't work. It displays the login dialog in a browser, but it looks as if the username and password don't match. When I changed the method to Basic, it worked fine.

AuthUserFile /home/pass/.htpasswd
AuthName "Login"
AuthType Digest
Require valid-user

The digest authentication method uses a different type of password file. You can't use a password file generated for BASIC to use with DIGEST. You need to use the htdigest command (or some equivalent online digest file generator) to create the password file.
