JP,

Doing 'area 0' authentication is not mandatory as i
understand. In my scenario i had 'area 0'
authentication with plain text as i remember and i had
MD5 authetication on the virtual link. But for
authetication purpose the Vlink must have the
authetication same as 'area 0' also to work.

Maybe this doc will clarify all doubts. I used
this.Let me know if this does not clear it up.

HTH.Good luck,
Annu
