Session Timeout in ASP.NET

Question

I have written a page with an iFrame that basically cycles through a series of internal pages on our server displaying daily activity for our company. The problem I think is that it sporadically loses its session and redirects back to the login screen to keep losing its session which is the default behavior for anyone on our site trying to access a webpage without being logged in.

I have set the session timeout to 4hrs, the iframe cycles through 6 pages anywhere from 10 seconds to 5 minutes on each, and I have even set the META refresh on the page to refresh every 3 hours. I don't understand what else could possibly stop this page from staying active.

Answer 1

Maybe this could help you: keep-session-alive

Answer 2

Check the authentication cookie timeout.

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="ApplicationLogin" loginUrl="Login.aspx" path="/" protection="All" timeout="240">
</forms>
