Question

In my web.config file i have the following code:

<system.web>   
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="/Account/Login" slidingExpiration="true" timeout="1" />
</authentication>
<sessionState timeout="1"></sessionState>   
</system.web>

And I have main page Project and in that there will sub pages. I have given the [Authorize] attribute for each view index method.

After the session complete when we select any view then the page inside the project main page will be redirecting. But I want the whole page to be redirected.

Any Help is appreciated.

Your web.config should look like the one below.

<system.web>
    <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login" timeout="2880" />
    </authentication>
</system.web>

the <authentication> element should be under <system.web> and not <assemblies>. The rest things you are doing it correctly i.e by putting [Authorize] attribute on method/action.

When the session expiries and a request is made for that action the loginUrl will be used and the user will be redirected to the login page. Hope this helps.
