Have you had a look at the CCO I included about virtual link authentication.
Could you have done it that way, if not then what were the requirements that
did not allow you to do so?

Thanks

Albert

My goal was to only authenticate area 0 connections. So all routers in
area 10 did not have to auth. to each other, that is why you do not see
an area 10 authenticate message-digest. Since the VL must connect to
area 0 it must be doing md5 auth. All other connections in area 10 is
free to connect with any other router in area 10.

Probably not the best practice but it was my lab.
