    {

        public override void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext filterContext)
        {
            if (filterContext == null)
            {
                throw new ArgumentNullException("filterContext");
            }

            if (!filterContext.HttpContext.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated || SessionCache.User_ID == 0)
            {
                // User not logged in, redirect to login page 
                filterContext.Result = new HttpUnauthorizedResult();
                return;
            }

You want to look into using Session_End event in your Global.asax.

It’s important to realize that Session_End will only be called on InProc sessions.
