OSPF Virtual-link authentication

Hi All,

I have question regarding when should I make OSPF VR to be
authenticated.

Suppose,
Area 2 <-> Area 1 <-> Area 0
In this case, I need to have VR from area 2 to area 0

If area 0 is authenticated only, should I make the VR
authenticated? i.e. area 1 virtu x.x.x.x
authentication-k...

In my understanding, the virtual-link seems like an
extension of area 0, so I think if area 0 is authenticated,
then VR should be authenticated too. But it is still
working if VR is not authenticated. Is my understanding
wrong?

Thanks a lot.
Raymond
