    copied!<p>I am wondering how do I set a timeout for a user if they don't do any requests after say 10mins there session is killed and they are logged out.</p> <p>I have in my webconfig this </p> <pre><code>&lt;authentication mode="Forms"&gt; &lt;forms loginUrl="~/Account/LogOn" protection="All" timeout="20160" path="/" requireSSL="false" slidingExpiration="false" defaultUrl="default.aspx" cookieless="UseDeviceProfile" enableCrossAppRedirects="false" /&gt; &lt;/authentication&gt; </code></pre> <p>I was told to set timeout to equal "20160" because I wanted to be logged in for 2 weeks if they checked the "stay logged in for 2 weeks". I also make sure to enable IsPersistent in my cookie Cookie.</p> <p>So is there another timeout I need to set? Since after a certain time of inactivity on my site it does not work anymore. I have not timed it but say if I leave and come back 10mins later and try to do something on my site like saving something it won't work. So it looks like my connection was killed or something. I have to signout, log back in and then it works</p> <p>Edit</p> <p>This is how I make my cookie</p> <pre><code> FormsAuthenticationTicket authTicket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(version,userName,DateTime.UtcNow,DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(14),createPersistentCookie,userData,"/"); string encryptedTicket = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(authTicket); HttpCookie authCookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, encryptedTicket); authCookie.Path = "/"; if (createPersistentCookie == true) { authCookie.Expires = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(14); } HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.Add(authCookie); </code></pre> <p>When I do set session state in my webconfig my url has this in it</p> <pre><code>(S(gkvkze55zfzzee45wj34byee)) </code></pre> <p>I rather not have this nasty line in my code.</p>
