View 6 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.
How do I avoid ASP.NET session timeout from a httphandler?
View 1 Replieshow to write session timeout in web.config and after session time out i want to redirect to login page .
View 5 Repliesi 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 .
<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="524601"/>
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?
I'm working on a website powered by .NET asp/C# code. The clients require that sessions have a 25 minute timeout. However, sometimes the site is used, and a user stays connected for long periods of time (longer than 25 mins). Session_End is triggered:
protected void Session_End(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Hashtable trackingInformaiton = (Hashtable)Application["trackingInformation"];
trackingInformaiton.Remove(Session["trackingID"]);
}
The user returns some time later, but when they interact with the website, they get an error, and we get this email notification:
User: Unauthenticated User
Error: System.Web.HttpException
Description: Failed to load viewstate. The control tree into which viewstate is being loaded must match the control tree that was used to save viewstate during the previous request...
The telling part of the stack trace is System.Web.UI.Control.AddedControl. Apparently, the server has thrown away the session data, and is sending new data, but the client is trying to deal with old data. Hence the error that "the control tree into which viewstate is being loaded [doesn't] match the control tree that was used to save the viewstate during the prevoius request."
So here's the question. How can I force instruct the user's browser to redirect to a "you're logged out" screen when the connection times out? (Is it something I should add to the Session_End method?)
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)
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.
<sessionState timeout="1440"></sessionState>
how can i read value of timeout from web.config to c# code
how to set the application timeout in web.config or iis?
View 9 RepliesSo 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.

I'm trying to implement a 'remember me' functionality on my website to allow the users to remain logged in without having to login again.
ity.FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(userName, true);
I've noticed that the 2nd parameter (createPersistentcookie) is not really persistent as it depends on the timeout value set in the config file.
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--;

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 read about Session Hijacking articles and would like to some more information related to it. Currently my web application which is developed in ASP.NET , is using Cookieless =true mode for sessionstate. We are using HTTPS which is a secure connection which will reduce session hijacking. I know when we using Cookieless the session id is embedded in URL which can be dangerous sometimes if user pass this URL to somebody and other user will be able to log in if session is still alive. So just want to know is HTTPS is more than enough or i should do something to secure my web app.

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?
