Session timeout

[Guest]

In the <sessionstate tag win web.config I set the timeout to 60 minutes. In
the
When does it expire? 60 minutes after the login, 60 minutes after the last
session variable set or 60 minutes after the last page accessed?

Arne,
It's 60 minutes from the last page access. See

Hi,

This is also in the link that Jason gave you:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...us/cpgenref/html/gngrfsessionstatesection.asp

Scroll up the frame on the left and take a look at the <forms> Element.
Depending on whether you are using slidingExpiration or not will give you
your answer. Good luck! Ken.

Hi Bruce,

<Authentication> is different. It doesn't in and of itself have a timeout
attribute. But inside it's child tag <Forms> there is a timeout, however it
depends on what slidingExpiration attribute is set to that determines
whether or not is acts like <Session>. <Session> doesn't have a
slidingExpiration attribute. Ken.
