To increase the session timeout in an ASP.NET MVC application, you need to adjust the session state settings in your web.config file.
Here's how you can do it:
Open the web.config file of your ASP.NET MVC project, then increase the value in minutes by using the time out attribute of SessionState element.
<system.web> <sessionState timeout="300"></sessionState> </system.web>
By default, the session timeout value is 20 minutes. Also in your case if you are using forms authentication, please check the timeout value.
By setting the timeout
attribute to a specific value, you're specifying the number of minutes the session remains active without any activity from the user. Adjust the value according to your application's requirements.
<system.web> <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login" protection="All" path="/" timeout="300" /> </authentication> </system.web>
Open IdentityConfig.cs, then change the value of the account logout time span that you want to change.
public class ApplicationUserManager : UserManager<CustomUser> { public static ApplicationUserManager Create(IdentityFactoryOptions<ApplicationUserManager> options, IOwinContext context) { var manager = new ApplicationUserManager(new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(context.Get<ApplicationDbContext>())); // Configure user lockout defaults manager.UserLockoutEnabledByDefault = true; manager.DefaultAccountLockoutTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(1); manager.MaxFailedAccessAttemptsBeforeLockout = 5; return manager; } }
