Session Time out problem

Dear All I have a website hosted on the cloud server and I have added sessionState mode ="InProc" timeout="1440" /> in the web.config file. But the session gets timed out in 1-2 minutes. I think the web.config settings should override the IIS settings.But it's not working. Is there solution for this?

thanks in advance

With InProc (in-memory) session state, you will lose session if any of the following conditions occur:

  • IIS worker process restarts
  • User is transferred to another worker process on the same webserver, or another webserver
  • IIS restarts

I would verify that you are not seeing any strange restart behavior on IIS, or if you are bouncing around in your cloud environment.

If your using Forms authentication this has a timeout as well.

<authentication mode="Forms">
       <forms timeout="20"/>
</authentication>
