Hi everyone,

we have configured our IIS and the specific website to use 60 mins for
session timeout. Additionally we configured the web.config so that timeout
in the sessionState section is set to 60 as well. Regardless of this
settings, the session gets abandoned after about 30 mins. Are there any
other places that can impact the timeout (We do not call something like
Session.Abandon() from within our sites)?
The strange thing is it seems to work (timeout = 60 mins) on the development
machines (WinXP Pro) but fails (timeout = ~30 mins) on the server (W2K3)

Thanks

Florian
 
My first move would be to create a page that just displays the current
timeout to make sure the value is properly taken into account.

If yes, do you goes through some hardware such as a load balancer ? Check
its timeout if appropriate...
