Hi

i have create and MVC project and it works fine but if user don’t work on site for a time – when here click any thing on – it’s redirect him to login page and log out from site ?

i try to edit my AppStart as:

            app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions
            {
                AuthenticationType = DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie,
                LoginPath = new PathString("/Account/Login"),
                LogoutPath = new PathString("/Account/Login"),
                ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromHours(12), // set auto LogOff Time
                Provider = new CookieAuthenticationProvider
                {
                    // Enables the application to validate the security stamp when the user logs in.
                    // This is a security feature which is used when you change a password or add an external login to your account.  
                    OnValidateIdentity = SecurityStampValidator.OnValidateIdentity<ApplicationUserManager, ApplicationUser>(
                        validateInterval: TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30),
                        regenerateIdentity: (manager, user) => user.GenerateUserIdentityAsync(manager))
                }
            });

as you see i have add:

ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromHours(12),

and i open site on 10 am and leave it – and when i try to work on it in 13:30 PM the site is logged out and redirect me to login page ?

so how can i disable auto log out in this site or set to auto log out after 12 Hours as client Need ? – the website Hosted on arvixe.com

Hi, 

You need to set the session timeout inside web.config

<sessionState  mode="Off|InProc|StateServer|SQLServer"  timeout="number of minutes">

for reference please read the below post

Hi,

If you don’t have the setting to override it in the web.config, then it will uses that expire time.

<authentication mode="Forms">                                       
      <forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login" timeout="10" defaultUrl="~/" />
    </authentication>

so how can i disable auto log out in this site or set to auto log out after 12 Hours as client Need ?

Set longer time.

Is you are redirecting explicitly or using Session?
