reliableSession, inactivityTimeout attribute

Question

Hi All,

My server and client side configured the value of inactivityTimeout = "00:01:00" and after the client goes inactive for more than 1 minute (exceeded the timeout value) I must to wait another 9 minutes (10 min in total) to get session timeout fault. Although, i set the receiveTimeout="00:01:00" on both sides.

Below my app configs:

Server,

      <reliableSession  enabled="true" 
                        inactivityTimeout="00:01:00" 
                        ordered="false"/>

      <security         mode="Message">
        <message        clientCredentialType="Windows"
                        negotiateServiceCredential="true"
                        algorithmSuite="Default"
                        establishSecurityContext="true"/>

        <transport      clientCredentialType="Windows"
                        proxyCredentialType="None"
                        realm="" />
      </security>
    </binding>
  </wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>

      </baseAddresses>
    </host>
    <!-- Service Endpoints -->
    <!-- Unless fully qualified, address is relative to base address supplied above -->
    <endpoint address ="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="SessionServer.ISessionService">

      <identity>

Client,

   <system.serviceModel>

        <binding name="WSHttpBinding_ISessionService" 
                      closeTimeout="00:01:00"

<client>
  <endpoint address="http://localhost:4040/SessionServer/SessionService/"
    binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_ISessionService"
    contract="SessionServiceProxy.ISessionService"  name="WSHttpBinding_ISessionService">
    <identity>
      <dns value="localhost" />
    </identity>
  </endpoint>
</client>
   </system.serviceModel>

BTW, both values are set to 10 minutes in "configuration.svcinfo" and "configuration91.svcinfo" files.

Why i must wait 10 minutes while i configured those values to just 1 minute?

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks,

Sabri,
