SYMPTOMS
OSPF authentication using a "null" password by Windows NT Routing and Remote Access Server (RRAS) may not work when trying to authenticate with third-party OSPF routers with authentication disabled.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because by default passwords are enabled and the password is "12345678".



RESOLUTION
To disable OSPF Authentication:
 * 1) Start the Routing and RAS Administration tool, expand IP Routing, and then right-click OSPF by Bay Networks.
 * 2) Click Configure OSPF, click the Areas tab, click the area, click Configure, and then click to clear the Enable clear-text password check box.
 * 3) Quit the Routing and RAS Administration tool.
