I have read about a million posts online regarding session timeout in config file and I am near tears. I have the following code in my config file. I have set the timeout to 1 minute as a test. The session does indeed end within 1 minutee however, if I set to 120 (2 hours) which is what i want, the session end after the default time of 20 minutes i believe. Can anyone offer some help.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="1" >
</sessionState>
<compilation debug="true"/>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms defaultUrl="~/Default.aspx"
loginUrl="~/Default.aspx"
name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH"
slidingExpiration="true"
timeout="1" />
</authentication>
<customErrors mode="Off" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
If an app pool is idle for 20 minutes it will recycle by default, see image below.
See this Microsoft post about changing the default.
UPDATE
If you do not have access to the IIS Application Pool Settings you can try the adding the following to your web.config however the recommended approach is via IIS
<configuration>
<system.web>
<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="120" />
</system.web>
</configuration>

I create a project in asp .net mvc 5 with default OWIN authentication with users and roles tables. when a user logs in the default timeout is 5 minutes and after 5 minutes user logout and redirect to login page. How can I increase this time from 5 minutes to 24 hours.
I try these codes but didn't work:
ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromHours(24),
SlidingExpiration = true
this is a part of my project's web.config file:
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off" />
<authentication mode="None" />
<compilation targetFramework="4.6" />
<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.6" />
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<modules>
<remove name="FormsAuthentication" />
</modules>
</system.webServer>
I added this tag to <system.web> and the problem is solved:
<machineKey validationKey="7DB9F31CBC3B6059038DF7212AD3A01E34C64A0883E05A0987EC697E659FFC58FBE36BDA98185DA62555690CD8C286C6752D6BFAB0C3519DE777A7EFCD21984D" decryptionKey="7908EB5206AB8C410BC2117F2778C7D24EDC2537739449A272CD4DDBB1116E13" validation="SHA1" decryption="AES" />
Generate your own machine key using this website:
http://www.allkeysgenerator.com/Random/ASP-Net-MachineKey-Generator.aspx
Try adding this key to your web.config
<system.web> <sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="1440" /> </system.web>

i am new to asp.net..please help me to write code for setting session timeout and how to implement in all pages,i tried out using web config method,but not getting,i am nearing to deadline.
This is my code
From code:
Session.Timeout = 60; // this will set 60 min timout
From config:
<sessionState timeout="60" />
Using Web.config
<sessionState
timeout="number of minutes"............
Full reference HERE !
or
Using Forms authentication
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms timeout="50"/>
</authentication>
<sessionState timeout="60" />
</system.web>
I have a basic ASP.NET website set up in IIS7 with forms authentication enabled on the server. Just for grins, I deny everyone:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".ASPXAUTH" loginUrl="Login.aspx" defaultUrl="Test.aspx" protection="All" timeout="30" path="/" requireSSL="false" slidingExpiration="true"/>
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
<compilation debug="true"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
When I visit the default.aspx page, I get dutifully redirected to the Login.aspx page. However, I can browse to a .txt file or .png file on the root of the same site, and it displays it with no challenge.
This is odd, because in the Cassini dev server, access to those files is blocked. This only occurs once I publish to my IIS7 server.
I must be missing something in IIS7, but I can't figure it out for the life of me.
I have the site on it's own .NET 4.0 app pool with integrated mode enabled.
Forms Authentication is enabled at the server
On the Edit managed Module popup for the FormsAuthentication module, I tried unchecking the "invoke only for requests...", but that tosses some kind of strange error when I do so (assembly of some sort missing? This is a fresh server install with no frills, so I can't imagine what that's about).
Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?
Thanks!

first of all you have to use integrated pipeline and then add this in your web.config:
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="false">
<remove name="FormsAuthenticationModule" />
<add name="FormsAuthenticationModule" type="System.Web.Security.FormsAuthenticationModule" />
<remove name="UrlAuthorization" />
<add name="UrlAuthorization" type="System.Web.Security.UrlAuthorizationModule" />
</modules>
</system.webServer>
I am trying to set the timeout parameter of session state but it doesnt time out.
<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="1"></sessionState>
I am refreshing the page after 1 minute and I still the session state value.
Why?
Use this way (if in case you are using FA as well)
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms timeout="1"/>
</authentication>
<sessionState timeout="1" />
</system.web>
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms timeout="1"/>
</authentication>
<sessionState timeout="1" />
</system.web>
you welcome
The MSDN says it shouldn't be lower then 4 minutes. Refer to the following it might help:
