ASP.NET session timeout unexpectedly

Question

User-390218179 posted

I have an asp.net application in IIS 5.0(windows 2000 server), my application is working with windows authentication and I have set the timeout as 120 min. Say the user starts working from 11:00 and the user is working on the application but after about 2 hrs i.e. about 13:00 the session timeout unexpectedly even though user is working on it.

I have the web.config file as below.

<authentication mode="Windows"/> 
 <sessionState timeout="120"> 

also checked the asp.net session timeout in the virtual directory properties which is the same 120 min.

Any taught or solution will be very helpful.

The settings provided in this link is to change the session timeout in the Application Configuration, I am not sure is this used for asp session timeout or also for asp.net session timeout. What will be the effect if this value is less than or greater than the value mentioned in web.config file?<o:p></o:p>
