web.config session timeout and forms authentication timeout

Do
Hi,

Where do I set the two timeout values for session and timeout?
Are they set to matching defaults?

Thanks,

Do

They're both inside the web.config. You really can't miss it.
I don't know if they're set to matching default.

Be sure to scroll right all the way for the session timeout, I missed it the
first time I was looking for it because i didn't scroll far enough in the
IDE while editing the web.config file

I'm not sure about the default values, but I know for a fact that they are
independent. Even though a user's session times out, he can still be
authenticated and vice versa.

However, on our production machine (window 2000 server with latest SP). it times out some where between 20-30 minutes. We are using sqlserver to...

Hello, I was unable to find a concrete pointer as to the precedence of IIS, Web.config when it comes to timeout. Say, IIS has a timeout value set different from that of web.config, which one is considered? Besides, could anyone differentiate the timeout attributes between the lines marked with astericks? <sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="180"/> **

Hi, I have a default.aspx which allows the user to choose between module Admin and module B. When the user clicks either one, he will be redirected to a FormsAuthentication login page.
