OSPF Virtual links.

All

I have the following :-

   R1---------------------------R2-----------------R3
(Area 100) (Area 100,Area 10) (Area 10, Area 0)

I have MD 5 authentication running in area 0, I know that for a virtual link
to work across a transit area that connects to area 0 where there is
authentication running, that you have to have authentication running on the
virtual link.

My question is this :-

Is it enough to have the command area 0 authentication message-digest
confgured under R1's routing process and the relevant passwords on the
links, or do I have to run a separate MD 5 process across the transit area
and have the passwords match across the board.

Any help would be good.

Cheers

Steve
