Hi

I am running my whole site accordign to this book.

For the admin pages, I want the admin user to remain logged in to the system for atleast 1 hour.

In the web.config, I have set the session to 60 minutes:

<sessionState
            mode="InProc"
            cookieless="false"
            timeout="60"
    />

However, it seesm that the system logs out the user after 5 minutes of inactivity.

Any idea how to resolve this issue?

Thanks

Session State is not related to Forms security. Find the tag that controls the Forms security cookie.

You mean the authentication tag in which you specify forms authentication mode and timeout? If yes, I have tried there also, but it doesnt seem to work.

I have set the timeout as 120 minutes, but session is getting expired after 20 minutes of inactivity.

What is IIS set for - Website, Home directory, Configuration, Options, Session timeout?
