I want to set timeout for my web application for 12 hours.
I have done setting in web.config file as:
<system.web>
<sessionState timeout="720" />
</system.web>
As suggested in the following post:
I came to know that the Application Pool recycles in every 20 minutes (if the pool is ideal).
And I also checked for changing the application pool time out using one question about application pool timeout setting
But still the session time-out is not set to 720 minutes. Do I need to change machine.config file for changing the session time out.
But I think the properties of machine.config file should be overriden by web.config file.
Kindly provide me some idea.
You can try out WMI(Windows Management Instrumentation) script it can help you.You need to have sufficient priveleges to implement the Script.
follwing are the links you can check to get more information.

You should set all following:
Application Pool / Advanced Settings. There the option Idle Timeout should be set in minutes.
Then within the web.config file in system.web section you should also set the Authentication/Forms, SessionState and RoleManager timeouts, if applicable.
<authentication mode="Forms"><forms loginUrl="~/default.aspx" name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH" timeout="120" /></authentication>
<sessionState cookieless="AutoDetect" cookieName="TYS_ADMIN_SessionId" timeout="120" />
<roleManager ... cookieTimeout="120" defaultProvider="GMRoleProvider" enabled="true">...</roleManager>

I must be doing something wrong. I have followed instructions to set the timeout on my forms authentication app, but the app never renews the cookie and will time out about every 15mins or so.
I must be missing something that is so obvious it is not mentioned in the literature.
Here is my config info:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login" defaultUrl="~/" timeout="120" slidingExpiration="true" cookieless="UseCookies" />
</authentication>
and the session state
<sessionState mode="InProc" customProvider="DefaultSessionProvider" timeout="120">
...
I have tried sliding or not sliding--same time out happens.
Dumb questions: do I need something in the code behind (VB) on every page to make sure the postback renews the authentication?
If you are browsing your web application from IIS then check the check the Idle Time-Out(minutes) property under "Process Model" of application pool.
If it is 20 minutes. You should change that property value.
I'm using forms authentication in my ASP.NET MVC 4 application. I have configured the timeout settings as below in my web.config.
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login" timeout="2880" />
</authentication>
Since I'm using a shared hosting environment, I can not change the IIS settings for timeout.
Currently it seems that this timeout is not working and it occurs after 15-20 mins of idle time.
are there any settings to force the timeout to take the value in web.config?
Explicitly adding the machine key to the web.config solved the issue.

I am running a discussion website. The problem that is coming is that after sometime session automatically expires. I am hosting my website on a shared server and doesn't have access to the settings of extending expiry time in IIS. So is there any way I can do that using web.config?
And also I enabled basic authentication on the server and using default authentication in my website, means I didn't gave any authentication mode in configuration file. So are they same?
Yes, this is possible:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<sessionState timeout="x" />
<system.web>
</configuration>
Where x is the desired session timeout in minutes.
You can manage session timeout using web.config
Sessionstate timeout property is mentioned in minutes.
In webconfig file...
<system.web>
<sessionState timeout="1440"></sessionState>
</system.web>
So we have been stuck on a connection timeout issue and we are lost.
All pages on this asp.net web application times out after exactly 2 minutes.
Saying:
connection timed out
description: connection timed out
All articles on the internet suggest it is the asp.net web config setting "executionTimeout". (Here is ours)
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="3600" requestValidationMode="2.0" maxRequestLength="15360" />
But obviously ours is set to way above 2 mins. A colleague of mine also fiddle with the iis settings without success.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: This does not happen on debug at all, which makes me lean towards it being an IIS issue.
EDIT: We don't believe it to be an asp.net session issue since we are still logged in and can browse to other secure pages after this happens
Resolved: So after some more investigation we discovered that the timeout issue was just from when accessing the website from within our intranet. Apparently we have some daemon software (Websense) running on the network that was the root of all this evil.
The above you mentioned should work, Look for the following in your web.config file (maybe its a issue of session timeout):
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms timeout="20"/>
</authentication>
<sessionState timeout="20" />
</system.web>
Increase the timeout time you are using.
Hope this helps.
I am experiencing a request timeout from IIS when I run a long operation. Behind the scene my ASP.NET application is processing data, but the number of records being processed is large, and thus the operation is taking a long time.
However, I think IIS times out the session. Is this a problem with IIS or ASP.NET session?
If you want to extend the amount of time permitted for an ASP.NET script to execute then increase the Server.ScriptTimeout value. The default is 90 seconds for .NET 1.x and 110 seconds for .NET 2.0 and later.
For example:
// Increase script timeout for current page to five minutes
Server.ScriptTimeout = 300;
This value can also be configured in your web.config file in the httpRuntime configuration element:
<!-- Increase script timeout to five minutes -->
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="300"
... other configuration attributes ...
/>
Please note according to the MSDN documentation:
"This time-out applies only if the debug attribute in the compilation
element is False. Therefore, if the debug attribute is True, you do
not have to set this attribute to a large value in order to avoid
application shutdown while you are debugging."
If you've already done this but are finding that your session is expiring then increase the
ASP.NET HttpSessionState.Timeout value:
For example:
// Increase session timeout to thirty minutes
Session.Timeout = 30;
This value can also be configured in your web.config file in the sessionState configuration element:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<sessionState
mode="InProc"
cookieless="true"
timeout="30" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
If your script is taking several minutes to execute and there are many concurrent users then consider changing the page to an Asynchronous Page. This will increase the scalability of your application.
The other alternative, if you have administrator access to the server, is to consider this long running operation as a candidate for implementing as a scheduled task or a windows service.
Great and exhaustive answerby #Kev!
Since I did long processing only in one admin page in a WebForms application I used the code option. But to allow a temporary quick fix on production I used the config version in a <location> tag in web.config. This way my admin/processing page got enough time, while pages for end users and such kept their old time out behaviour.
Below I gave the config for you Googlers needing the same quick fix. You should ofcourse use other values than my '4 hour' example, but DO note that the session timeOut is in minutes, while the request executionTimeout is in seconds!
And - since it's 2015 already - for a NON- quickfix you should use .Net 4.5's async/await now if at all possible, instead of the .NET 2.0's ASYNC page that was state of the art when KEV answered in 2010 :).
<configuration>
...
<compilation debug="false" ...>
... other stuff ..
<location path="~/Admin/SomePage.aspx">
<system.web>
<sessionState timeout="240" />
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="14400" />
</system.web>
</location>
...
</configuration>
I'm posting this here, because I've spent like 3 and 4 hours on it, and I've only found answers like those one above, that say do add the executionTime, but it doesn't solve the problem in the case that you're using ASP .NET Core. For it, this would work:
At web.config file, add the requestTimeout attribute at aspNetCore node.
<system.webServer>
<aspNetCore requestTimeout="00:10:00" ... (other configs goes here) />
</system.webServer>
In this example, I'm setting the value for 10 minutes.

Remove ~ character in location
so
path="~/Admin/SomePage.aspx"
becomes
path="Admin/SomePage.aspx"
