Idle timeout is not same as Session timeout. With Idle timeout being specified, a worker process will shut down after a specified period of inactivity.

You need to change the session timeout in web.config/IIS. Look at the link below:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.sessionstate.httpsessionstate.timeout.aspx[^]

XML

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <sessionstate>
      mode="InProc"
      cookieless="true"
      timeout="30" />
  </sessionstate></system.web>
</configuration>

Session Time Out is 20 minutes by default.
The value is affected in a number of settings including Application Pool, ASP, ASP.NET Session State, CookieTimeout.

Please follow instruction below to configure Session Time Out on IIS

Open IIS Manager

Application Pool -> Advanced Settings -> Process Model -> Set Idle Time-out in minutes

Sites -> your-website-domain.com -> ASP -> Session Properties -> Time-out then Apply Change

Sites -> your-website-domain.com -> Configuration Editor -> system.web/sessionState -> Set Timeout value then Apply Change

Sites -> your-website-domain.com -> Configuration Editor -> system.web/roleManager => Set cookieTimeout then Apply Change
