Authenication timesout at 20 minutes

[sodakotahusker]

No matter what I do - our authentication is getting lost at 20 minutes. The global configuration setting for asp.net 2.0 State Management was set to 20 minutes. I changed that to 60, but no help. I set the forms timeout attribute to "60". No help. I set the worker process shutdown in the app pools to 60. No help. I can't find anything else to tweak. Anyone ever heard of asp.net 2 being flaky with timeouts - or knows of a stone I have not turned over.

is the page not being used for 20 minutes? 20 minutes is the default timeout for session.

If you are using forms authentication what about the timeout parameter from the web.confir?

<authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms loginUrl="Login.aspx" name="mytest" protection="All" timeout="60" path="/" />
</authentication>

I included that in my first message of things that did not work. Thanks anyway

20 minutes is the default but I have changed the default but still not seeing the change.

Maybe the comment thread in this link could help you?
