The dreaded Session state :-)
All, Just to give a little background this is reagarding an ASP 3.0
application running on IIS6 using the default app pool.
I have set the session timeout to 540 minutes in IIS (under options tab in
Application configuration). There is no code in the Session_OnStart or
Session_OnEnd in the global.asa. Via an include file, each page executes
these no-cache related code:
Response.Buffer = True
Response.Expire sAbsolute = Now() - 1
Response.Expire s = 0
Response.CacheC ontrol = "no-cache"
Response.CacheC ontrol = "private"
Sorry, just wanted to give some background on what we're dealing with.
Anyways, the problem is that the users are saying their session state is
expiring much sooner than 540 minutes. How is this possible? What did I miss?
Are there better techniques to ensure the 540 minute session?
Thanks in advance,
Jim 12 6400
Setting a session timeout any higher than 90 minutes is somewhat iffy.
You should perhaps consider using cookies to keep track of them longer than
that.
It really all depends on why you are even doing this in the 1st place
though.

I see. The only reason why the session state is set so high is the users do
not want to be exited from the application during the day. When session
timesout, the app forces the user to exit.

Which is a good thing, as far as the server is concerned. Sessions consume
system resources. There are other ways to preserve state when it needs to be
preserved for that amount of time. Cookies, databases, files, etc.

Jim,
We're experiencing timeouts like the one you describe. The timeout i
IIS6 is set to 20 minutes, but some of our users say they are "logge
out" after approximately 4 minutes. Our debugging code confirms tha
their session has disappeared.
Did you find a resolution to this issue?

Well no. I solution was to reduce the timeout from 8 hours to 90 minutes.
Wow, I'm not sure what could be causing your session timeout problem of
timing out after just four minutes.

Good Day,
I'm experiencing the same problem and need a solution not a work arround.
Implementing a different state management system in our production
environment is not a option. Since this will mean retesting and redepolying
our application to 10 sites world wide.
This worked fine on IIS 5.0 so why is it not working on IIS 6.0. What was
changed. And how do we change it back.
Thanks

The text you quoted does not mention a problem and I no longer have the
original thread on my machine.
What is the problem? Or the symptoms of the problem if you haven't
identified the problem?

Not sure. Lots of things changed. Have you been to the MS website and
read the "What's New" document for IIS6? Try this: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv...s/default.mspx
or this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...13fc08aa92.asp
There's also this dandy Support Center: http://support.microsoft.com/default...is60&x=15&y=13
as well as the www.iisfaq.com site.

Hi Bob,
We are currently storing about 30 user profile settings as session variables
in a asp site.
Since moving to Windows 2003 R2 with IIS6.0 we are experiencing unexpected
session timeouts. The session timeout interval is set to 480 minutes or 8
hours. Our users are however complaining that they are experiencing timeouts
more randomly and over much shorter intervals.
Users have to log in again when their session is timed out.
Implementing a new Session State Management Sub System using cookies and/or
files and/or SQL DB is not an option purely due to the cost in retesting and
redistributing the site.
So the question remains. Why are sessions timing out prematurely?
Thanks

Do we have any access to the Session object from a different Session? The
idea is to save Session of a current user and then if he logs in again
then return the Session back. It's not a problem to store, there is only one
complicated object in this Session, but to get it on SessionStart to make
a copy this is a problem.
Maybe using Application or whatever? Or this data is divided and
inaccessible anyway?
