NEWBIE - Autologout is too short

[RockNRoll]

Greetings,

I have an asp.net application on our server that access program financial
data. If a user does not click anything for a certain amount of time and
then clicks on, say, a new tab, the application returns to the login page.

I like this functionality, but I would like that time to be longer.

Does anybody know where to address that setting? Thank you kindly,

-Dave

You make changes like that in your web.config.

If you are using Forms authentication you can add a timeout attribute to the
<forms> element and set the number of minutes (the default is 30).

<authenication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="login.aspx" timeout="30" />
</authentication>

HTH,
Greg

look into
A. Web.config file
B. the login code

check the duration of session (in web.config) and the validity of the ticket
& cookie (if you are using forms authentication)
