OSPF Authentication

When using md5 ospf authenticaion what exactly is the meaning of this ->

ip ospf message-digest-key 50 md5 7 cisco

The key number is 50
auth type is md5
the password is cisco

the 7 is ????

My assumption is that it is the type of local router encryption that is
used to display the password when doing a sh run / sh run int xxx, etc.

The reason I'm asking is that in my testbed if I use a 7 I get
authenticaion mismtach errors but when I change the authentication
command to using a 1 instead it works fine.

thanks!
