in CCNA & CCENT
Sorry to keep peppering you boys with all these questions... just trying to fill any grey areas I have with solid knowledge.
Was considering yesterday questions that might pop up on my exam next Thursday and considered that there could be a question on OSFP Authentication. If a question were to pop up about OSPF Routers having trouble forming adjacencies (which it most likely will) how can I check that the two Routers in question are both using the same MD5 ID key (1-255) and the same password? I'd look into this myself (and already have) but all I have is the Boson simulator which doesn't support this and I’ve found is about as much to me as condoms are to eunuch.
Thanks to anyone who responds.

You can use the debug and it will show authentication faliure.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

The debug ip ospf events and debug ip ospf packets will both show the authentication failure I believe. The events command is the more commanly used from my experience.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made.

Also don't forget about the need for matching Subnet Numbers, Subnetmasks, hello/dead intervals, and area ID when establishing a neighbor. I don;t think you should worry too much about hashing and authentication untill November. IN which case you would already be a CCNA.There is no place like 127.0.0.1 BUT 209.62.5.3 is my 127.0.0.1 away from 127.0.0.1!
