ASP.NET session timeout ignores my settings
<p>Folks,</p>

<p>Configuration file Web.Config for my ASP.NET application is configured as follows:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;sessionState timeout="300" /&gt;
&lt;authentication mode="Forms"&gt;
  &lt;forms name="appNameAuth" path="/" loginUrl="xLogin.aspx" protection="All" timeout="300"/&gt;
&lt;/authentication&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Essentially, I have specified a timeout of 5 hours for forms authentication as well as the user session.</p>

<p>Despite this, my session times out in less than 30 minutes. </p>

<p>I am wondering if anyone has any insight on why it is timing out.</p>

<p>This is a classic ASP.NET 2.0 application (does not use MVC).</p>

<p>Thank you in advance for your help.</p>

<p>Regards,<br />
Peter</p>
