I am facing the log out issue in my MVC5 application.

if I am opening tab 1, finish our work and leave it open, then open tab two and continue working in tab two for 15 minutes, tab one will return to the log in page due to automatically logout(Timeout set in 15 minutes in web.config).

below are the web.config configuration

JavaScript

<system.web>
    <httpCookies httpOnlyCookies="true" />
    <customErrors mode="On">
      <error statusCode="500" redirect="~/Error/InternalServer" />
      <error statusCode="404" redirect="~/Error/Index" />
      <error statusCode="403" redirect="~/Error/BadRequest" />
      <error statusCode="401" redirect="~/Unauthorised/Index" />
    
    <caching>
      <outputCache enableOutputCache="false" enableFragmentCache="false" />
    
    <!--<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="Error" redirectMode="ResponseRedirect" />-->
    <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms loginUrl="~/Account/LogOff" protection="All" timeout="1" slidingExpiration="true" cookieless="UseCookies" requireSSL="true" />
    
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5.1">

    <httpRuntime executionTimeout="99999" maxRequestLength="162529280" maxUrlLength="400" minFreeThreads="6" useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false" />
    <pages>

        <add namespace="Kendo.Mvc.UI" />

That is the expected behavior

I don't want to log out even I am working on the second tab.

You've set the timeout on the authentication cookie to 1 minute, which seems a little short.

You've also set the log-in URL to "~/Account/LogOff", which is probably not what you intended.

If you want to keep the session and authentication cookies alive whilst a page is open, you'll need to use Javascript to send a regular background request to the server.

use Reply button to post comments/query to the concerned user, so that the user gets notified and respond to your text.

Solution 1

use this:

<configuration>
  <system.web>
     <sessionState timeout="20"></sessionState>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

where Timeout refers to the time .. You can even use Cookie Authentication for this
