My application’s session is ending abruptly and don’t see any error being generated in

  • 0

My application’s session is ending abruptly and don’t see any error being generated in Application_Error in Global.asax. Also, the Session_Start event fires but not Session_End. It happens after I host the application on a server and does not happen on my dev machine.

The steps to generate this auto exit is to switch between pages that load and display a list of objects (Client, Managers, etc). After about 30-40 seconds of activity, the user is logged out and Login screen is displayed. Any ideas what could be going wrong behind the scenes?

Web.Config has the following settings for session and authentication:

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

authentication:

<forms name="XXX.AUTH" loginUrl="~/login.aspx" protection="All" timeout="60" path="/" requireSSL="false" slidingExpiration="true" defaultUrl="~/default.aspx" enableCrossAppRedirects="false"/></authentication>

    Are you hosting on a shared hosting environment (i.e. from a hosting provider like GoDaddy)? They may be recycling the IIS worker process every minute or so, in which case you’d lose your session information. You’d have to use some type of out-of-process session state such as a state server or Sql State Server to avoid that.

    Here’s the MSDN article on it.
