Auth Digest - issue with Authoritative

Running Apache 2.0.46 on WinXP Home

to cut to the heart of the matter: is there an AuthDigestAuthoritative
directive ??

I have successfully configured mod_auth to work by using these directives.
LoadModule auth_module modules/mod_auth.so
#LoadModule auth_digest_module modules/mod_auth_digest.so
AuthName "foobar"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "C:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Apache2/passwd/pwbasic"
AuthAuthoritative on
Require valid-user

I am trying to make mod_auth_digest work.
However, Apache fails to start when I have ALL these directives for my
htdocs directory
#LoadModule auth_module modules/mod_auth.so
LoadModule auth_digest_module modules/mod_auth_digest.so
AuthType Digest
AuthDigestFile "C:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Apache2/passwd/pwdigest"
AuthDigestDomain "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs"
AuthDigestAuthoritative on
Require valid-user

When I change httpd.conf while Apache is running and then try to restart it,
I get:
[Sat Jul 12 11:54:10 2003] [notice] Parent: Received restart signal --
Restarting the server.
Syntax error on line 302 of C:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'AuthDigestAuthoritative', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by
a module
not included in the server configuration

So I comment out the AuthDigestAuthoritative directive and Apache comes up
and I am prompted for a userid and password (a different form from that of
the Basic auth).
I find this in the error log:
[Sat Jul 12 17:08:52 2003] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest
authentication ...
[Sat Jul 12 17:08:53 2003] [notice] Digest: done
[Sat Jul 12 17:08:53 2003] [notice] Parent: Created child process 3256
[Sat Jul 12 17:08:53 2003] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest
authentication ...
[Sat Jul 12 17:08:53 2003] [notice] Digest: done
[Sat Jul 12 17:08:53 2003] [notice] Child 3256: Child process is running

WOAH!
I find that AuthDigestAuthoritative is documented in one book that I have
but not on the Apache web site!
So I am confused as to what to do.
Can I assume that the default is "ON" and not have to worry?

thanks,
