Problem in Session TimeOut

S.Vinothkumar · #1 (**permalink**) 09-25-2007, 05:17 AM

Hi there,

I'm trying to maintain a session for 10 hours. Below tags are in my web.config file.

Code:

<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="600" /> 
<forms loginUrl="login.aspx" timeout="600"></forms>

My problem is the session ends before that 10 hours, but I remain authenticated even after the session expires.

I'm not getting redirected to the login page but I loose my session data. I don't know where I'm doing wrong....

Hi Vinoth,

You have to modified the session timeout in IIS. Just do as following.

Right click on the virtual folder, select properties, click Configuration, and go to the Options tab, and the that timeout to 600 as well.

That's it..

Strange, because the session setting in IIS options tab has nothing to do with asp.net session state. It is for ASP session state only.

I will guess you lost your session because you're using InProc mode and the app got restarted.

Well, I would have presumed that it did not matter, but it does. What happens is that if the IIS timeout is shorter than the session timeout in the Web.Config file, you get to a page where the session is no longer valid, though the ASP.NET session does not actually timeout (the user is not redirected to the Login page).

session.setMaxInactiveInterval(60) ;

In this case, the session times out after 1 min.

session.setMaxInactiveInterval(39600) ;

which indicates that the session would be timed out after 11 hours of inactivity.

But, this never happens and even after 11 hours of inactivity I can still use the application.

I have tried setting this to 3600 sec (1 hr)... but it doesnt work here too.

Can somebody tell me why is it so?

Hi all, Session is not getting expired.

I am setting a value for session.timeout in codebehind in one of my file but its not getting expired..
Any one plz help me......

I am overwriting the timeout in web.config with the time i want as per my requirement...Actually i am getting that value from database and assigning to session.timeout..and i am keeping idle for that much time eventhough its not getting expired...

In one of my file i am taking as

Code:

Session["TimeOut"] = SessionExpiry;  //Some value which i am getting from database
Session.Timeout = SessionExpiry;

And in Master-Header page i am checking for

Code:

if (Session["TimeOut"] == null)
  {
                       Response.Redirect("Default.aspx");
  }

But its not getting redirected...I checked it for 1min,20 min,30min also but its not getting expired....
