forms authentication ticket expiration problem

[tparks69]

I have set up forms based authentication according to the KB article
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308157/EN-US/) using the
FormsAuthenticationTicket based method. I have the timeout parameter set to
"2" in web.config, and also in the code that creates the ticket. When I
refresh default.aspx after waiting 2 minutes, I should get bounced back to
loginform.aspx, but it doesn't happen. Can anyone tell me why? Code below:

From web.config:
*************
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="MyApp011" path="/" loginUrl="LoginForm.aspx"
protection="All" timeout="2"></forms>
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>

*************

From loginform.aspx:
****************
tkt = New FormsAuthenticationTicket(1, txtUserId.Value, DateTime.Now(), _
DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(2), chkPersistCookie.Checked, "your
custom data")
cookiestr = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(tkt)
ck = New HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName(),
cookiestr)
If (chkPersistCookie.Checked) Then ck.Expires = tkt.Expiration
ck.Path = FormsAuthentication.FormsCookiePath()
Response.Cookies.Add(ck)
***************

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Try setting slidingExpiration="false" in the <forms ..>
