Author Setting IIS 6 to use Digest Authentication

I am trying to set up IIS 6 to use Digest Authentication and not Advanced Digest Authentication. It works properly with Advanced Digest Authentication. I have added the UseDigestSSP property to Metabase.xml. Now all IE6 login attempts are rejected by IIS.

The server returns:
HTTP Error 401.2 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to server configuration

How can I determine what's wrong with the server configuration?
I have configured the server so that passwords are stored with reversible encryption.
I have also set the UseDigestSSP property to TRUE.
This differs from the recommendation in http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tr...rg_met_tcgr.asp
which said that it should be false or absent for Digest Authentication.
When it was false, the server used Advanced Digest Authentication.
