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.
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 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'm working with ASP.Net web services and am having a problem with a long-running process that takes about 5 minutes to complete, and it's timing out. To fix this, I was able to set the executionTimeout on the server's web.config to 10 minutes, and then set the .Timeout property on the Web Service object to approximately 9 minutes. Now, I'm worried that this may possibly cause some other web service calls to sit there for 10 minutes before they time out rather than the previous 90-100 seconds. I know the default on the client side is 100 seconds, but wasn't sure if updating the server's timeout setting would affect this.
Bottom line is - Is it safe to update the server's timeout setting to a long amount like 10 minutes, and rely on the default timeout on the client, or could this end up causing some problems?
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:

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--;

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?
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)...
I am creating web application. In that I want to set session timeout (not idle timeout). If a user logged in that time the session time will start and it automatically should detect session timeout the page should redirect to another page. How can I acheive this.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to programmatically set the session timeout for a user-session based on the user's IP address?
Example: if IP address is in the range of 192.0.X then set session timeout to 6 hours. Otherwise, leave at default set in web.config (or set to 30 minutes).
Presumably this would be done in Global.asax:Session_Start. For now I would be ok with just using the IP address of the user's first request in a session (allowing for the fact that a user could change IP addresses mid-session).
ASP.net 3.5, IIS 7
what should i write in web config file in asp.net so that my session time is extended. the exact location where should i place the code in web config
View 6 RepliesI am trying to detect a session state timeout in my asp.net application and am unable to do so. I have a base class that derives from System.Web.UI.Page as follows:-
public class BasePageSessionExpire : Page
{
override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnInit(e);
if (Context.Session != null)
{
if (Session.IsNewSession)
{
string szCookieHeader = Request.Headers["Cookie"];
if ((null != szCookieHeader) && (szCookieHeader.IndexOf("ASP.NET_SessionId") > 0))
{
Session.Abandon();
Response.Redirect("~/SessionExpired.aspx",true);
}
}
}
}
}
All the pages I need session state checking on derive from this base class instead of "System.Web.UI.Page". Also, all these pages have EnableSessionState="True". I have a blank Session_Start() method in my global.asax file if that is relevant at all.
For some reason after the first request, the "Session.IsNewSession" property is always false. It is true only for the first request and then is always false. I have my timeout set to 1 minute. The session never seems to timeout. What am I missing here ?
Also I have implemented a state server in SQL Server 2008. This is not an in-proc session state implementation.
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 ?
