Hey all,

NG FP3

https://secureknowledge.us.checkpoint.com/SecureKnowledge/login.do;jsessionid=C3C14B732E853A9FF0EAF8D20E80CB69.instance11?OriginalAction=solution&id=sk26655

says that everytime I do a Policy install, all manual client authentication 
sessions get wiped out of the connection table and users have to 
reauthenticate. One of the workarounds is to put FW1_clnauth_http (900/tcp) in 
the rule, and check the "Keep connections open after Policy has been installed" 
box.

Question is: Why doesn't it work if I just use "Any" in the rule? 
FW1_clnauth_http says "Match for 'Any'" so using "Any" includes that protocol 
in the rule.

And does this problem also exist in later versions? I'm trying to decide if I 
need to address this long-term (use a different authentication method) or just 
upgrade and be done with it.

> Thanks!
