Session.Timeout Issues

[hughesmi]

I m using login function in my site with session. This session of mine gets expired after few minutes irrespective of that user has logged out or not. I know the default is 20 mins on IIS. I have tried this and it dosent work.

My code on each page is:


<%
Session.Timeout=30 ' Set sesction to 30 Mins.
IF Session("MySessionVerb") = False THEN ' declare that current user is validated
Response.Redirect "www.whatIwant.com"

ELSE ' If no session found then show normal
%>


Has anyone got a better way to keep the session vaild longer?

Just an after thought - I found this create a background JavaScript process in the browser that sends regular heartbeats to the server.

It's possible that some page on your site is changing the timeout and you aren't aware of it.

But there's nothing magic about 20 or 30 minutes. On one intranet site I work on, we set the timeout to 1439 (24 hours minus one minute) and it works fine.
