I am manually maintaining WCF Session. When client login a GUID is given to the client as
sessionId. All others methods have sessionId as parameter that client will provide.Every thing working fine. Now how can i manually manage Session Timeout ?
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.
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
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?
The constructors for manually creating FormsAuthenticationTicket objects force us to set an "expiration" value, and this value overrides the "timeout" setting in web.config in my tags, which is not what I want, because now the user doesn't timeout. The "session" just expires at the given time.I need to manually create my ticket for UserData reasons, and it is just the way I decided to build my app. I guess I could spend a whole lot of time and redo the way my app. authorizes, and store the "userdata" elsewhere... but this seems extremely tedious for something so small..Is there anyway to manually create an Auth Ticket and still maintain timeout settings?! And by timeout, I mean resetting the timer on user activity. Not a fixed timeout!
View 1 RepliesI 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)
not quite sure where I'm going wrong here. I'm trying to manually handle sorting in a Gridview that is populated with the following data source:
[Code]....
[Code]....
[Code]....
At the moment, nothing is happening when I click on the column headings. I ran it in debugging mode in Visual Studio and put a breakpoint on the Sorting event handler. I noticed that the variable dtSortTable is empty even after the TryCast(VacanciesGV.DataSource, DataTable). If I hover over this statement in debugging, it shows the data from the file system, so it does appear to be reading it.
My problem is I have handled timeout error in client of WCF error in such a way that if data is large to fetch, after 10 minutes(as all timeout in web config of client are set to 10 minutes) it should show me customize message 'Too many records to fetch, please modify criteria'. It works on my local system as per expected but if I put it in test server(Service is in one test server and Client application in one test server) it gives me following runtime error.
The message could not be processed. This is most likely because the action [URL] is incorrect or because the message contains an invalid or expired security context token or because there is a mismatch between bindings. The security context token would be invalid if the service aborted the channel due to inactivity. To prevent the service from aborting idle sessions prematurely increase the Receive timeout on the service endpoint's binding. The thing is if I set SendTimeout in test server client config less than 20 seconds then it works fine but we should not be limited upto 20 seconds as it is awfully short.
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)
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.
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]...
I've been reading around the web about different alternatives to keeping track of users but I can't seem to find the "perfect" solution for my situation.
The app will (hopefully) be high-volume so I'd like to design with scalability in mind. It might be necessary to host the site using several web-servers so session mode InProc won't work, right? It's kept in memory of the current web-server and since the user might jump from web-server to web-server I can't be sure the session will be kept connected to the user.
Do I need to make a custom membership and role provider that works with mySQL to be able to use the .NETs standard user handling systems (like FormsAuthentication that can handle session stuff from what I've understood)?
In 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.
I'm using the ASP.NET login control.
How can I set the session timeout?
I'm looking to include a behavior in the base page that, when the session times out (after say 20 min), makes a call back to the client, erases the session cookie, and redirects the user to a "your session has timed out" page.
Before I start coding, I was wondering if there's a functionality in the framework that already handles this.
unit of session time which we specify in ASP.Net Web.config in sessionstate,
Is it in minute,second or miliseconds?
In my application user upload movies and the size of movies can be around 100MB or more. For this reason im doubtful that if any user have a slow connection it could take hours and if it takes so much time then my application session will be expired. What should i do to cater this issue? My application is on ASP.Net MVC2 with C# and hosted on Windows server 2008

How to set session time out
View 1 RepliesHere are somethings confused me for session timeout. Below are the list of setting:
1) In app web.config, I set sessionstate timeout = 120
2) In IIS6 of web server,
DefaultAppPool, property, Recycle worker processes(in minutes): 15
Web Sites, property, connection timeout: 120 seconds
So, how long is timeout for session?
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)...
