I am working on a web application based project in this application i want if a user remains idle for continuous 10 minutes then he will automatically logged out from the application.
for this i have tried this code in the web.config but this isn't working.
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="2"></sessionState>
Suggest me some other possible way how can i do this in my application?
Use should set timeout for forms authentication.
Notice that session timeout should be longer: ~ 2 * formsTimeout
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/login" timeout="2" name=".yourAuthCookieName" />
</authentication>
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="4"></sessionState>
Do like this
<configuration>
<system.web>
sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="120" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
and Find here more about setting session timeout in application pool

i have googled a lot but did not find any solution regarding expiring the session of all the user logged in at a fixed time (say 12:00 AM), all i know is
<configuration>
<system.web>
<sessionState
mode="InProc"
cookieless="true"
timeout="30" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
to extend the idle time of the session.can any one help me with this
I am new to .net and MVC framework of it as well.
I need to create session timeout functionality.
So I tried
<system.web>
<sessionState timeout="20"></sessionState>
</system.web>
I tried mode="InProc" as well with no luck.
I already has this line in Web.Config
<sessionState timeout="30"
mode="SQLServer"
cookieName="SafeAuto.QuoteAndPurchase"
sqlConnectionString="Data Source=CORPSQLTS09RM18;user id=webuser;password=M#r3Bar!"
cookieless="false"
regenerateExpiredSessionId="true" />
And I know we can not use 2 times.
So anybody has anything in mind to help me out over here. In addition, after session timeout I want to redirect page to specific page.
After moving over to the new platform the site is logging people out after a time of inactivity. This never used to happen and I wish to set the timeout to a larger value. I've changed some settings to no effect and even in code the session.timeout is set to 1440.
Any ideas where I can find another setting for it or where I might start with this problem.
Thanks
The app pool was recycling as the worker process was set to expire after 20 minutes of inactivity.
Have a look at IIS session information here: HttpSessionState.Timeout Property
<configuration>
<system.web>
<sessionState
mode="InProc"
cookieless="true"
timeout="30" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
You can add this section to your web.config in your website root dir for authentication:
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms timeout="1440" slidingExpiration="true"/>
</authentication>
</system.web>
Assuming that you're using Forms authentication.
And this for session timeout:
<system.web>
<sessionState timeout="1440"/>
<system.web>
Here is a snippet from my web.config file:
<system.web>
<sessionState timeout="1440"></sessionState>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/Account/LogOn" timeout="1440"
cookieless="UseCookies"
/>
</authentication>
I am getting sessions expiring much sooner than 1 day (within an hour or so). Are there any other IIS or ASP.NET settings that could be affecting this? (the app is not setting any timeouts from code).
I would check the application pools recycle time. This is probably the cause as I think that it defaults to something like 20 minutes.
I have floder in wwwroot that contain all the pages for a website.
the problem is that session and cookies are not save between the pages, although that the session is recognized, but always empty!
What do I have to do in order to enable session and cookies between the pages?
I tried adding this line to web.config
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms cookieless="AutoDetect" domain="" timeout="10" protection="All" />
</authentication>
And I turn the folder to an Application throw the IIS manager tools.
but nothing :(
the IIS version is 7
Thanks for any help
Have you checked that session state is enabled in IIS7?

You also need to ensure that you have the session state config setting setup in your web.config in your application.
Here's an example of mine
<sessionState mode="InProc" stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424" sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes" cookieless="false" timeout="20" />
