Hi guys,

In a project of mine I have given Session timeout 60 and Forms authentication timeout 120.

But the user is redirected to the login page way before any of the above time (most of the times it is around 10).

I want to know if it is a problem from server.
here is the code.

XML

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="Login.aspx" timeout="120">
<credentials passwordFormat="Clear">
</credentials>
</forms>
</authentication>
<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="60" cookieless="false"/>

Thanks In Advance

May be, May not be.
It may be a code problem.

What say you post the relevant portion of code and we can take a look?

Solution 3

By default session is 20 min but you can change that:

Session.Timeout = 60

Or

<system.web>     <authentication mode="Forms">           <forms timeout="50"/>     </authentication>      <sessionState timeout="60"  /> </system.web>

I would advice to read this CodeProject article, it explains those concepts pretty clearly:
OOP and UML[^].
