RedirectFromLoginPage persistent cookie expiration

[jester]

Passing true for the second parameter of RedirectFromLoginPage creates a
persistent cookie. When does this cookie expire?

Hi jester,
Please check your config file. If everything goes right, please check the
security settings for the dll.

Hi jester,
Please ignore my previous reply, becoz my reply to DPAPI has come here.

Regarding the RedirectFromLoginPage - persistent cookie, you can control the
expiration date, it is also a good practice too..
Here how you can do?

If persistentCookie And expirationDays > 0 Then
' Get a reference to the cookie just created.
Dim cookie As HttpCookie = Response.Cookies _
(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName)
' Set its expiration date.
cookie.Expires = Now.AddDays(expirationDays)
' Ensure the cookie can travel only over https.
'cookie.Secure = True
End If

But what would be the default cookie expiration if I don't set it explicitly?

Dear jester,
The default time-out limit is 20 minutes.
Please see the Microsoft documentation "Configuring ASP.NET Applications to
Use the Appropriate Session State"

Sorry.. The URL is bit long...
