Question

I would like to ask you this question because I am a bit stuck with it .

I’m wondering why when I connect thanks to my login form, and when I am on my default page, after 1h staying connected, it disconnects and goes back to the login page.

This is my actual webconfig .

<configuration>
  <configSections>
  </configSections>
  <connectionStrings>
    <remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
    <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString='Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS; AttachDbFilename = "C:\Users\Maxime\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\ClientPortal\ApplicationUI\Website\ClientPortal\App_Data\DataUi.mdf";Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True'
       providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>
  <system.web>
    <pages validateRequest="false" />
    <compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true" targetFramework="4.0"  />
    <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms loginUrl="Logon.aspx" name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH">
      </forms>
    </authentication>
    <authorization>
      <deny users="?" />
      <allow users="*" />
    </authorization>
    <sessionState cookieless="false"/>
    <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="1048576"/>
  </system.web>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="FolderPath"  value="uploads" />
  </appSettings>  
  <system.serviceModel>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" />
  </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

Should I put something else in the web config to disable this ?

It’s a bit annoying ..

You are using the ASP.Net forms authentication. The default timeout for which is 30min (half an hour) I am surprised it lets you idle for an hour.

use the following code to control the timeout period.

<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms timeout="50000000"/>
</authentication>
