Section 8.2 says:

            The AuType specified in the packet must match the AuType
            specified for the associated area.

It should say:

            The AuType specified in the packet must match the AuType
            specified for the associated interface.

Notes:

In OSPFv2, authentication is configured per interface and not per area.
Appendix D clarifies this: "The authentication type is configurable on a per-interface
(or equivalently, on a per-network/subnet) basis."
