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.
