Wyan:

Clifton is correct in the fact that the (area 1 virtual-link <RID address> mess
age-digest-key <key> md5 <key name>) is needed on both router R2 and
R3. Also you will need to add to R3, under your (router ospf #) this command:

(area 0 authentication message-digest).

Router 3, (with the virtual-link command enabled) is "directly" connected to ar
ea0. Although it does not technically have any area's in area0, it is exchangin
g
updates with area0, not area1. This, with the md5 enabled on your virtual-link
will solve your problem.
