May 17, 2013How to set session time out
View 1 RepliesHow to set session time out
View 1 RepliesWe 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
2. how do I set session timeout
I wanna write a method to get or set session timeout at run time.
View 1 RepliesThe session state timeout is set using this web.config element
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="120" />
The forms auth is configured using this web.config element
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="Login.aspx"
protection="All"
timeout="30"
name=".ASPXAUTH"
path="/"
requireSSL="false"
slidingExpiration="true"
defaultUrl="default.aspx"
cookieless="UseDeviceProfile"
enableCrossAppRedirects="false" />
</authentication>
</system.web>
What is the difference between the timeouts specified in each of these elements? If both are different, how would it work?
I want some efficient way that how can i display a message to user that he is about to logout after 1 minute if user is idle and doing nothing on the page for 1 mintue.
on message if user want stay online so he must click keep me online or say logout.
I have a page of each every click has ajax call to my server (hence, the ASP extends the session)
I have ASP.NET session set to Xmin. I want when X+1 min expires, I have expiration page. what I did was to set the JS timer to validate every x+1min to see if the session expired (the problem is that the JS and the ASP session timeouts are not synced)
I created a user control for my web application that checks for Session Timeout. If the criteria are met for Timeout, I use Response.Redirect to send the user back to the login page. I include this user control in my Master page, and run the SessionTimeoutcode in the user control's Page_Init event. That all works great. However, once the user logs in again after time-out (and I have verified that the OnLoggedIn event does fire) the user is redirected to the DestinationPageUrl. That page runs the Session Timeout check when it loads (as it should) and the Session Timeout code "says" that the session is still timed-out.
View 1 RepliesI'm working to set up/correct my session timeout code, and have consulted numerous articles like this one and this SO post for ideas on how best to do this. The solution to detecting a session timeout that I continue to see over and over is to first check the Session.IsNewSession property for true, and if so, then check to see if a session cookie already exists. I guess the logic here is that the user has ended their last session that timed out, started a new session, but the old cookie wasn't yet removed. The code for those checks looks like this:
[CODE]...
The problem is that the session does not end, and all of my session timeout checks are in the Home/Customer action (I use MVC). So I'm redirected to Home/Customer, and I run through the checks above, but when I get to Session.IsNewSession, it's false, because the session is still alive (I assume because I'm still within the 120 minutes I have set)
Using this code i want to show an modal pop up to the user that "your session will be expired within 5 minutes , Click here [BUTTON] to reset your session" , here's my code :
<asp:Button ID="btnReset" Text="Reset" runat="server" OnClick="ResetSession" />
<br />
Your Session will expire in <span id = "seconds"></span> seconds.
<script type="text/javascript">
function SessionExpireAlert(timeout) {
var seconds = timeout / 1000;
seconds--;
[CODE]...
How does session timeout slide? Does it slide when there's a postback occur?
We have a application made from flash or let's say more in html control input... I constantly click it calling a webservice using a pagemethods... but the session still expires...
Most of our application are client base such as flex(flash)....
or How do we determine that the timeout is almost expire... let's say a countdown...(2 minutes left before the session expire)...
I have one modal popup window in which I am loading some event, after session timeout occurs, page in the modal pop window redirects to login page.
What I want achieve is, On session Expiration modal window should disappear and parent page should be redirected to login page.
I want to display session timeout timer in my site, for e.g. if user doesn't perform any task's for last 3 minutes or so timer start displaying time left and when user start doing any activity i.e. mouseover etc it should disappear.

View 1 RepliesIn my website, the session is expired after 5 minutes. I need to extend the seesion state to minimum 4 hours. Currently, in web.config file I used the following code.
<sessionstate cookieless="false" timeout="1440"></sessionstate>
But its expired after just 5 minutes.
I have 3 seperate applications (under the same domain) for which I use Forms authentication with single sign-on.
The 3 applications have different session timeout periods. I was on various articles that when we use forms authentication and specify the loginurl in the <Forms> tag in the web.config, it should automatically get redirected to the login page, when the session timesout. But in my case, it doesn't happen, I think because of different timeout values.
Heres my code :
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="Login.aspx" timeout="50" />
</authentication>
<sessionState timeout="60" />
</system.web>
[Code] ....
but my session expires message shows after 1 minute .... whats that ???
I referred this article , bcx it was easy : [URL] ....

I Set session timeout I wnt to show the remaining session timeout on the page and show in the format seconds i.e. 7.45min remaining
I want to redirect to login page,when session is timedout. Here is the link i am following [URL] ...
For example: If i am in the page called http://localhost/RealWebApp/Dashboard/RealProfile.aspx
when session is timed out, this page is showing like http://localhost/RealWebApp/Dashboard/logout.aspx
But i wanted to be like : http://localhost/RealWebApp/logout.aspx
If I use like this in master page:
meta.Content = Convert.ToString(Session.Timeout * 60) + ";url=../LogOut.aspx";
then it is redirecting to http://localhost/Logout.aspx
But i wanted to be like : http://localhost/RealWebApp/logout.aspx
How to accomplish this:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
HtmlMeta meta = new HtmlMeta();
meta.HttpEquiv = "Refresh";
meta.Content = Convert.ToString(Session.Timeout * 60) + ";url=LogOut.aspx";
this.Page.Header.Controls.Add(meta);
}
How to page redirect in Global.asax Session_End ?
View 1 RepliesIn ASP.NET application's web.config, I have something like this
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="30"/>
Is this the only place where Sessions timeouts are defined Is this timeoout in web.config the only one for all the sessions in the application. Can I not set the session timeouts for each session individually.
IF so, where??
I am looking to use "Keep me Logged-in", where do I have to set the timeout to Maximum
I want to set the session timeout in code so it can come from a configurable value.
Can I just do this in global.asax?
Session.Timeout = value;
I have an asp.net 2.0 application which times out after say 15-20 minutes if user didnt do any activity and presses a button on the page(he is redirected to sessionExpired.aspx page). I have set the session timeout to 60 minutes in my web.config file but still somehow the user is timed out.
I have another question related to this regarding the Session Timeout Precedence. Does IIS session timeout take priority over ASP.NET session timeout. Say if IIS session timeout is set to 20 minutes and ASP.NET session timeout is 60 minutes, does ASP.NET override IIS session timeout.
In our application we are using forms authentication, we have given defaulturl also in the config file. But the problem is that it is not getting redirected to the default url when the session timeout is occuring.
