Question

timeout and auto logout in asp.net 2.0 with IIS 7 even after doing all the possible settings

Answer 1

A:

Have you checked your machine.config ?

machine.config can override the default value for the server's Session State, among others

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config

I have not checked the machine.config file, but preferably I don't want to modify the machine.config file, because I think it's not feasible to modify it.

Also I have checked the machine.config file and there is not such setting for session timeout in the machine.config file

Answer 2

+1 A:

How does your code issue the authentication ticket once users log in? The documentation says that the expiration attribute will overwrite whatever you set in the web.config - that might be the issue.

If the ticket is generated manually by using the FormsAuthenticationTicket class, the time-out can be set through the Expiration attribute. This value will override the timeout attribute value specified in configuration files.

OK in the code (.cs file), when user logs in, I am setting the ticket like: // Create the authentication ticket FormsAuthenticationTicket authTicket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(1, // version txbUserName.Text, // user name DateTime.Now, // creation DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30),// Expiration false, // Persistent roles); // User data

The code behind is where you need to also set 180 minutes.
