I have problems with an ASP .NET MVC application. The application does a timeout at about 20 minutes and nothing is done on it.
I have these lines in web.config :
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/Cuenta/Login" timeout="2880" />
</authentication>
I deactivated the session in this way, thinking that it would be that, but I still have the same problems.
<sessionState mode="Off" timeout="2880" />
Any idea what may be happening?
To define the timeout (in minutes) in MVC, it is done in the web.config:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<sessionState timeout="90"></sessionState>
</system.web>
</configuration>
The default value is 20 (that's why right now at 20 minutes it goes out)
I do not know if what you want is that you never do timeout or if you want to extend it more in time. I think the maximum time of session timout is 1 year, but I personally prefer not to unnecessarily lengthen the timeout time from the webconfig. Think that a long session of 1 year for example will keep all the info on the server side. If you have a lot of users it is unfeasible.
If what you want is that the session never expires you can do a hack in javascript to autologuee every X time.
Here the solution link
In this example, a heartbeat is performed every 5 minutes (configurable) I hope it works for you.
