Steve,
Interestingly enough, the documentation shows that you are correct. However, t
he old command may still be on the routers:

Rack10_Router5(config-subif)#ip ospf ?
  authentication Enable authentication
  authentication-key Authentication password (key)

Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
IOS (tm) 2500 Software (C2500-JS-L), Version 12.0(14), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
C

I configured authentication using only the authentication-key command and it wo
rks fine.
