time out issue

[joy ji]

Hi,

we have an application and set the time out value to 60 minutes in the
web.config file but somehow it always time out sooner than that (such as
idle for 40 minutes instead, it will redirect to the login page defined
in the web.config and session is gone), not sure anyone else had the
same problem and know how to fix it.

By the way, if we set the time out value to 20 minutes in the web.config
file, somehow it won't even redirect to the login page after idle for 20
minutes, but the session is gone since I can't retrieve any data from
session variables.

Seems like time out doesn't work the way as expected, but not sure
anyone else has the same problem?

Any thoughts would be really appreciated!

Thanks,
Joy

Forms authentication, right? This is a known problem, and it sucks.
