State Management :: Session Expires After Every 4 - 5 Minutes - Increase Idle Timeout
Mar 3, 2011
I'm facing a great problem in session. My session expires after every 4-5 minutes. Firstly I checked my web hosting settings. I increased session timeout to 50000. In my web.config I wrote :
[Code]....
Also Locally it expires withing 5 minutes. Secondly can I also increase idle timeout.
for Business needs i am planning to increase the session timeout to 2 hours(120 min) in one application, i am using sql server session state. if i increase to 2 hours of session time out, how it will effect the performance of application and web server.
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 using a timer in the master page of my web site in order to keep a 'status bar' up to date with all sorts of information.The issue is that the whole point of session expiry goes to waste, because a postback is always being made (although asynchronic) to the server.
How can i still expire the session after a wanted period of time?
On localhost works well. On the hosting server expires very quickly. Sometimes after a minute, and sometimes after a few minutes.
I tried mode="StateServer" and mode="SQLServer", but first works the same, other doesn't work. The next problem is that End_Session in global.asax doesn't executes if mode is not InProc. And I need this.
How could I achive that session expires only when browser is closed or other url is typed. Just setting timeout doesn't work.
my web app doesn't use authorization in web.config, but i want to detect when a session has expired and redirect to the home page.I have searched and found solutions that rely on the web app using authorization. Other solutions have implemented a user control to drop in every page.Obviosly i don't want to manually check for null on every session variable on every event of the web app, so i want the app to do it automatically.
I am building a web app that is limited to one database, therefore I cannot use the ASP.NET config tool. As a quick means of getting this app online, I tried to use a simple session variable. The login page verifies the user's credentials, and if they pass, it sets the session variable to a certain value. All other pages check in the page_load event whether or not the session variable is equal to that value. The problem is that once being logged in for a short while and sending and recieving some data, the session variable resets, and I'm returned to the login page to repeat the process. Here's the basic code from my webforms:

Is there some setting I need to change in the web.config file to adjust the cookie timeout or is that only for the config tool authentication methods?
I am developing web application using ASP.NET and I want to close the current user session if the computer is idle for 5 minutes. Idle not means for web application only, Its full system that means if no keystroke received from keyboard for 5 mins.I got some info thru Google about Idle Tracker in VC++ but I dont know how to use that DLL in my web application. [URL] .... How to achieve this. I want to get the total computer active time and idle time thru asp.net for my employees productivity report.
I am using "cookies" to maintain session in my asp.net azure application.
What I want is that when a user logs in to my website and remains idle for 15 minutes it should automatically log them out and redirect them to the login page.
I have created an ASP.NET Intranet Application in framework 2.0.
I have deployed this application on my Local Intranet Server and client are accessing the application in thier browsers. What is happening is that i have set session timeout value to 90 mins but it still move to redirect page after 5 or 6 mins inactivity.
My requirement is whenever a user logged in the application, the application should never go on the login page back, bu when user clicks log out button then it should redirect on login page.
I have a section in my web app that displays the user's name, the current datetime and a logout link. What i would also like to display is the time left for the session.Is this possible? I'm using an ajax timer to give the user the real time, so if i could display also the time that is left for the session to end would be great.
But my Website has one thing that still causing problems... the Website calls an ActiveX. Some time in the user navigation the user clicks in a button and a JavaScript loads an ActiveX with the code bellow.
var objDownload = new ActiveXObject('XXXXXX'); objDownload.ActiveXMethod();
This ActiveX makes a huge processing and this is why I'm want the trick to avoid the session expires. I tested the both above solutions but when the ActiveX is running no refresh happens. Can anyone help with this problem? How the ActiveX can be running and the IE makes the refresh?
i have my website uploaded on production server . i have stored datatable for around 70 rows and 20 columns in session but with still only with 10 users.but my server in getting timeout too often.my server ram is 4gb and is dedicated server.i am currently using inproc session only.How much data can we store in session in current scenario. or i need to change my apparoch. in future my website is expand with many users .
I have a default 30 min session timeout for normal users. Now i want to set 1 hour time out for admin users. Can someone guide me how to acomplish this.
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.
