Hmmm,

Strange, I tested this in the lab and found it to be this way. Maybe older
versions of IOS...

There are two ways to specify OSPF authentication: per area and per
interface. If you specify mode and key on the virtual link you do not have
to include area 0 auth any more than if you used per interface
authentication on any other link. The only requirement for per interface
authentication is that all directly connected neighbors reachable via that
interface must possess the same mode and same key. It needn't apply to the
whole area.
