Your question is unclear. Could you please elaborate a little?

if the website is ideal without use for 4 mins the session is killed it is asking credentials, so person has to login. i want the session to be alive for more than 60 mins. I have declared session time in web.congif file.

Are you using WebSecurity class to log the user in, if so what are you passing as the rememberMe parameter? Is it true or false. Secondly, this is a flaw in ASP.NET's WebSecurity helper, each time the user leaves the website for a while, the cookie is removed or so, thus removing the logged in user account, and asking him to re-login.

Check the IIS Session time out value which may differ from this. The default value of session time out is 20 minutes.

Yes, this could be the problem

Try this:

XML

<sessionState mode="InProc" customProvider="DefaultSessionProvider" timeout="60">
      <providers>
        <add name="DefaultSessionProvider" type="System.Web.Providers.DefaultSessionStateProvider, System.Web.Providers, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" connectionStringName="DefaultConnection" />
      </providers>
    </sessionState>

Off course you need to have a connection named DefaultConnection.

this is my connection string
add key="SqlConnection" value="Data Source=*****;Initial Catalog=****;User ID=**;Password=****"

in the above solution connectionStringName="DefaultConnection" should i give the entire value in default connection ??

InbarBarkai 26-Jan-15 5:28am

Visual studio has a default connection string usually set.
if not you can add a new connection string or add a default like this:
<connectionstrings>
<add name="DefaultConnection" providername="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionstring="Data Source=TheLocationOfTheDatabase;Initial Catalog=TheNameOfTheDatabase;Integrated Security=True;"></add>
</connectionstrings>

sushma2607 26-Jan-15 6:06am

Nope this is also not working

InbarBarkai 26-Jan-15 6:08am

Try using your connection(instead of DefaultConnection use SqlConnection)

sushma2607 26-Jan-15 6:11am

system.web

appSettings
add key="Provider" value="SQL" /
add key="SqlConnection" value="Data Source=162.222.225.88;Initial Catalog=Radikal;User ID=Tax;Password=Radikal@123" /

/appSettings
system.web
sessionState mode="InProc" customProvider="DefaultSessionProvider" timeout="60"
providers
add name="DefaultSessionProvider" type="System.Web.Providers.DefaultSessionStateProvider, System.Web.Providers, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer" /
/providers
/sessionState
connectionStrings
remove name="LocalSqlServer" /
add name="DefaultConnection" providername="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionstring="Data Source=162.222.225.88;Initial Catalog=Radikal;uid=Tax;password=;Integrated Security=True;"
/add
/connectionStrings>

This is in my web.config file

Change LocalSqlServer to DefaultConnection.
Change your password since you published it by accident

sushma2607 26-Jan-15 6:46am

i have tried DefaultConnection, Sqlconnection and gave complete connection. Nothing is working

InbarBarkai 26-Jan-15 6:48am

I'm sorry, I'm all out of ideas.
Maybe it has something to do with the configuration of you iis.

InbarBarkai 27-Jan-15 0:12am

Maybe try:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/" timeout="2880" />
</authentication>
