Timeout not working as specified in Web.config

[Felix_WafyTech]

Hello,

I've set the timeout to 720 in the web.config file (see detila below).
However, the page elapses after 20 minutes and the login screen is displayed
again. Is there anything else that needs to be set or taken care of? Your
help is appreciated.

<system.web>
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="720"/>

<membership defaultProvider="SqlProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="720">

<providers>

<remove name="AspNetSqlProvider"/>

<add name="SqlProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"
connectionStringName="ConnectionString" enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
passwordFormat="Hashed" applicationName="/"/>

</providers>

</membership>

</system.web>

Thanks,
Felix.J

Hi Felix,

Thank you for posting.

Regard on the timeout of the forms authentication ticket problem, is it a
common problem among all the ASP.NET application on that server, also, is
this a machine specific issue? Also, since forms authentication ticket is
stored in client cookie by default, you can turn on the ASP.NET page trace
on the page to check whether the cookie is always persisted correctly
during the lifetime of the user's login time.
