Hi, After creatiung a new site on 7.0.4 (i have a dev site already running 7.0.3)
I have noticed with the new site that the login times out very quickly, within 10 mins. I have checked the form authentication setting and this is set to 90.
Any ideas?
Rob.

That's a good question. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'd like to have it so that i can be logged in for at least 9 hours. Thank you!

Hi,
This is my web config entry
Code: Select all
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms timeout="60" slidingExpiration="true" name="AC7.ASPXAUTH"/>
</authentication>
<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="60" cookieName="AC7.SESSIONID"/>
I still have the problem where the site logs you out every few minutes.
I am running IIS7, Windows server 2008.
Any other clues?

Is your site staying alive the whole time? That may be logging you out if no one is using it. You could always make a little cookie for your computer to keep you logged in so you never are logged out unless you log out.

My site is staying live and other users are on the site, the passwords just time out.
Thanks for the link, I'll look at that.
Do do still want to figure out what the issue is becaise it is affecting all logged in users.
Cheers,
Rob.

You wouldnt happen to be on discountasp.net would you? I had this issue when I used to have a few sites there. I dont recall the specific reason though, let me search through my old emails and it could be something that applies.

I have this hosted on my own server with 1and1 so I have full control.
It is a strange issue. I have check and rechecked the configurations and really can't explain.
If you could turn up the issue you had it migh help shed some light.
Thanks again for you assistance.
Rob.

Hi there Rob
Do you have your database on a different server? If so please check to see if the system clock on both systems are synced.
Thanks

Thanks for your continued advice.
The Database is on the same server...
Any other thoughts?
