Security :: Timeout Not Functioning As Intended In Web.config?
Apr 15, 2010
So I took over a companies site and are QA department noticed that after the site sets idle(30 minutes) they can still click around until it preforms a database function that is when it errors out. I thought I had the web.config set properly that the user would be logged out after 30 minutes, but they are still able to make clicks on a gridview and popup modal popups. The site uses membership and I have never had an issue in the past with the timeout on forms auth.
Rather than using ASP.NET's CreateUserWizard control, I want to use the code found on MSDN's "MembershipCreateStatus Enumeration" page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.security.membershipcreatestatus.aspx).However, I want to have a separate code-behind file. So I created the following two files:
Register2.aspx
[Code]....
Register2.aspx.cs
[Code]....
However, when I attempt to build and execute the Register2.aspx page, my Login.aspx page is displayed in the browser instead.
I have two pages for different companies with nearly the same ASPX markup and code-behinds (main alterations include certain fields from the same table being read-only in one and editable in another), #1 has a Select (for populating the DetailsView) and Update while #2 has Insert, Select and Update. #2's Insert and Update functions are not operating while #1's are just fine... I've gone through optimizing #2's codebase and I for the life of me cannot figure out why it's not functioning properly. What follows is #2's markup and codebehind for the relative functions accessed:
We have the timeout value set to 120 in our <form> tag within the web.config. We do not have a session timeout set.. and we have various connection strings.
We are having a problem where a session variable will disappear (become NULL) .. but, the form evidently remains 'open'.. or no re-login is required..... so, my question(s):
1. what is the relationship between form timeout and session timeout
i am working on an application ,i have hosted on server. everything going fine . i have added a code to set session timeout in webconfig . but its expire default time .
Most of my pages use a master page. If I design the page completely in the Design View the controls display on the page properly, within their content placeholder space. But if I add the control programatically, its added outside the content placeholder area, which is to say, its basically added to the masterpage.
Im trying to programatically add a System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table to a page in the Page_Load event with the following statement:
Table table1 = new Table();
this.Controls.Add(table1);
Everytime I view the page, the table is showing up below the <asp:Content></asp:Content> elements where Master content should be displayed. Do I have to add the table to the Content Control on the Masterpage? And if so, what would that code statement look like.
is this c# code intended to read local client files?System.IO.FileStream content = System.IO.File.Open("c: est.txt", System.IO.FileMode.Open);It gives me error FILE NOT FOUND
I am trying to build a form in asp.net 1.1, the problem I am facing is when I run the page on http everything works fine, but on https it submits the page with out any validation on client side. The page supposed to validate fields which it does on http but not https.
Page works in all other browsers. FF,chrome,safari,ie6, ie7, the problem is only in IE8 and only when the page moves to https.
I have implemented the basic forms authentication.In web.config I have set the following, in the authentication tagtimeout = "50000000000" Other than that, I have an out-of the box implementation.I have no custom provider.My clients want to pretty much enter the username once a day.The timeout is in minutes, so I am sure that they are not waiting over 5 million minutes,so something else has to be booting them.
We have an ASP.NET 2.0 site in which we use ASP.NET login / authentication controls.
Our users currently timeout after approx 20 minutes, forcing them to log back in, and this appears to be causing downstream errors in our application.
I have tried increasing the SessionTimeout value to 120 mins (<sessionState timeout="120" />) in the site's web.config file, and the "<membership userIsOnlineTimeWindow="5000" >" value in the web.config is set to 5000 minutes.
These are the only values / settings I can think of to affect this behaviour.
have a website which as far as I know has the following timeout settings:1) In Web.config, FORM's authentication timeout="10"2) In Web.config, MEMBERSHIP's userIsOnlineTimeWindow="10"3) Assigned in Global.asax on Session_Start(): Session.Timeout =10;In the past I had problems because at least 1) and 3) weren't in sync, not sure about 2).
Do these 3 have to be in sync and if so, is there a way to set the timeout once and to have it applied to all 3? I deploy my website to many clients and each may want a different timeout, so I'm looking for a dynamic method to set this, perhaps after loading the timeout period from the db or settings file.
We currently have a set of ASP.NET application and we are migrating them to use Windows Authentication (used to be form Authentication). We will eventually let the user to connect to our site entering Windows Authentication credentials. When we tested within our system across different domains, we noticed that the authentication session seemed to be cached even with the server session had timed out. In other words, once the user logged in and keeped an Internet Explorer window up (didn't even have to be in ourapplication page), the user could always navigate back to our application without being prompted for security login again. We had our site included in the Trusted Site list of the IE browser.Is that the expected behavior for ASP.NET Windows Authentication? If that is the case, is there a way to end the Authentication cache when the users leave their IE windows idle.
My 3.5 app uses Forms Authentication. I create an authentication cookie (ticket) with an expiration date of one day. The cookie's IsPersistent is set to True. I do not use any session variables. Session timeout is the default 20 minutes.
Here's the problem:
When the session times out in 20 minutes, the user is redirected to the logon page even though the authentication cookie has not expired.
Why does this happen? I thought the session and the cookie were independent of each other.
how to redirect to a custom URL on Forms Authentication timeout? The timeout is working but it is only caught when I try to go to a page in my application because each Page_Load method is wrapped in a custom IsLoggedIn method. Here is the settings I have so far in the Web.config.
My client wants 2 separate login pages for an ASP.Net app, one for regular users, one for support staff. I am using the standard FormAuthentication component for authentication. Is it possible to redirect a regular user to one login page after a timeout, and also to redirect an admin user to a different page after a timeout? The loginUrl attribute of <forms> in web.config is read-only, and cannot be edited at runtime.
Regular User -> Timeout -> Login.aspx Support User ->Timeout -> SupportLogin.aspx
I need to configured my web application to display a warning message to the user 5 minutes before the authentication session expires. I found a javascript code that acts as a counter, however I still could not figured out how to make the page to refresh when the user clicks the Ok.
this is the javascript code...
<script type="text/javascript"> var leftime =5; var interval; interval = setInterval( 'change()' , 600000); function change() { lefttime --; if(lefttime<=2) alert("the session will be off, left time is "+lefttime+ " second!") } </script>
