Policy Install Logs Out Client Auth Users
A policy re-install flushes certain tables, of which the client_auth table is one of. You can go into $FWDIR/lib/table.def on the management console and modify the following entry:

client_auth = dynamic sync expires AUTH_TIMEOUT;

A 'keep' needs to be added to the end of this line. It should read:

client_auth = dynamic sync keep expires AUTH_TIMEOUT;

You will need to re-install the security policy from the management console for this to take effect.

The 'keep' (which generally should be added after 'sync') will prevent the client_auth table from being flushed on a policy re-install. The only way to flush this table is to bounce FireWall-1 (fwstop; fwstart).
