How can I keep a session alive while...

twscott

I will be posting information to another application from my applicatio
and redirecting to that application which will load into anothe
iteration of IE. The user may spend a significant amount of tim
working in that application. I need to keep my session alive whil
there is activity in the other application as that application will b
sending me return data when its processing is complete. Is there a wa
to keep my session active while the other application session remain
active? Can I reset my applications session.timeout value or is ther
some other way to do this? I would prefer not to have to switch focu
back and forth between my app and the other to maintain seamles
processing.

Also, if the other application session times out I would like to end m
session as well.

TIA,

Te

A session times out if the browser hasn't interacted with the server for
20 mins (default).

So what you need to do is let the browser show some activity. Put this on
the page

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="600">

Where 600 means 600 seconds. This way the page will refresh every 10 mins.

Also, if the other application session times out I would like to end
my session as well.
There is no easy way to do this but I wouldnt invest time in accompolishing
this.
I see no need for it. Just let them timeout.

Reality Check: Session Hijacking

by: mrbog | last post by:

Tell me if my assertion is wrong here: The only way to prevent session hijacking is to NEVER store authentication information (such as name/password) in the session. Well, to never authenticate a user from information you got from the session. Each secure app on a site must challenge the user for name and password, each and every time the user accesses it (not just once and then store it in the session). If a secure app is multi-page,...

Help with session keep alive code using .asp as img src

by: Jason | last post by:

I've got a standard form on an ASP page to collect resumes from visitors. The page can be accessed only after the visitor has logged into the site. The issue that I'm running into is that the users are exceeding the length of the session timeout, so when they submit the form, it is taking them back to the login page instead of submitting the form. The solution I am trying (extending timeout session is not an option due to the heavy load...

"Non-persistent" session variables

by: Arnost Sobota | last post by:

Dear ASP community, I have a question regarding ASP session variables. My assumption was that a session variable has the same lifetime as the session itself: as a consequence, given that closing the browser doesn't terminate the session, the session variable is kept alive until the session expires. But, surprisingly, I've found this to be true for the session variables

how to keep a session variable alive across browser closings

by: laredotornado | last post by:

Hi, When a user logs into our site, we create a session variable to denote the session is active and another to denote who is logged in. Once the user closes the browser and re-opens it, the session is destroyed and the variables are gone. How can I keep the session alive for 24 hours even if the user closes and re-opens the browser?

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
