Session does not expire

[just4ulove7]

I am facing a typical problem in my application. The session doesnot expire even though after shutting down my system. For debuggine reasons, I put timeout = 1. What else should I debug to know the problem? Heres the code... Web.config In Global.asax Application_AuthenticateRequest { string userInformation = newUser.Id + ";" + newUser.RoleName + ";" + newUser.UserName + ";" + newUser.LoginId + ";" + newUser.DefaultProject + ";" + HasReportees; FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(1,newUser.UserName,DateTime.Now,DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1),false,userInformation); //Encrypt the ticket string cookieString = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(ticket); //Send the cookie to the client Response.Cookies["userRoles"].Value=cookieString; Response.Cookies["userRoles"].Path="/"; Response.Cookies["userRoles"].Expires=DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1); } Am I missing something? Please let me know...:( Thanks

I the session is InProc means that is stored in memory, even uploading a NEW DLL will expire all sessions. So rebooting the computer WILL restart the Sessions. Are you sure you are not using SQL or ServerState? Al

Yes, I am using InProc for the session. Heres the web.config code I dont understand what am I missing? Thanks

Why do you think that the session does not expire? --- b { font-weight: normal; }

When I type the URL, it redirects me directly to the default page which I have specified. However I have the following code thanks..

I'm don't know much how the authentication works, but doesn't it use the cookie that you created, rather than the session? You can write out Session.SessionID on the page to clearly determine if the session expires or not. If the id changes, you have a new session object. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

Hmmm....i checked it out putting Session.SessionId. Closing the browser and reopening it creates a new session. My problem was rather with cookies. I was creating persistent cookies. Anyways I have changed the code... Thanks a lot for ur help.
