Set timeouts on IIS or Web.config

[Mantorok]

Hi all

Can I just confirm something, if I set the session-timeout in my Web.config
(for my webservice) will this override the default 20-minute setting in IIS?

Also, is this an idle-timeout?

Thanks
Kev

Hi Kev,

As for the IIS's session timeout setting, it is used for classic ASP web
application. For ASP.NET web application, you should use web.config to
control those application wide settings such as SessionState,
Authentication ..... They won't mix with each other.
