Why really short timeout in ASP.NET MVC?
I have an MVC 2 application where the timeout is set to 2880 (minutes as I understand it, but even if it is seconds there's a problem):
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/Account/LogOn" timeout开发者_Python百科="2880" />
</authentication>
Now this should then mean 48 hours, or at least 48 minutes (if the value is seconds). But the user is logged out after as little as a couple of minutes of inactivity...
Why is that? Any help appreciated!
Found the answer finally after a lot of Googling...
You have to set a custom machinekey in the web.config file. I used this generator:
http://aspnetresources.com/tools/machineKey
This seems to have to do something with "recycling" on the web host, which causes the user to be logged off, if I understood it correctly.
Anyway, it works fine now!
2880 is given in minutes. It will logout automatically if you add slidingExpiration="true"
. See example below.
<forms loginUrl="~/Account/LogOn" timeout="2880" slidingExpiration="true"/>
