Question

I am using authentication mode=forms in web.config file. Because it is a secure application so I want to expire my session in 5 minutes. Right now I am doing it in programming in codebehind.

Is there any other easy way to do it?

Answer 1

You should do it in Web.config file. This will expire Session

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <sessionState 
      mode="InProc"
      cookieless="true"
      timeout="5" />
  </system.web>
</configuration>

Other option is, This will expire cookie

<authentication mode="Forms">
   <forms name=".ASPXAUTH" loginUrl="Login.aspx" protection="All" timeout="5" path="/" slidingExpiration="true">
   </forms>
</authentication>
