You're half right.
2 ways to authenticate in ospf. You have the 1st way with your example, configuring under the interface. The second method is to enable it under the routing process. If you enable authentication in the routing process, then all interfaces for that area should be configured with a key or password.
Just depends where you want to enable authentication, in the routing process or the interface. Either way, you have to configure the key under the interface.

Subject: OSPF Authentication
I have what could be a question of opinion.
if a lab requires you to use authentication in an OSPF area, and you
configure authentication on all the links in that area and they are using
authentications but you don't issue the 'area x authentication' command
under the routing process, (assuming you've done it on the inter) would you
say thats correct?
I'm saying that OSPF doesnt authenticated areas it authenticates links and
the area x authentication command just tells the router all links in that
area should use authentication... right?
thoughts?
