We are currently running an ASP.NET application on W2K/IIS .NET 1.0 and
using Windows Authentication. After 5 minutes we would like the application
to timeout and start prompting for the Network Password dialog box again.
How is this possible?

Thank you.
 
Configure Session Timeout on IIS Server for ur application
to 5 minutes...

if u want the applcn to automatically prompt after 5
minutes, use Javascript or meta tags to auto refresh page
otherwise u dont need to, if the page is left idle for 5
minutes, any access to the page after such time will
result in prompting of the N/W Dialog window.

Just tried a test on this. Went into IIS Snap-In and open the Configuration
button on the web application in question. Set the Session Timeout value to
5 minutes (did not restart IIS).

Logged into the application in question. Waited 10 minutes. Click on
hyperlink on page and it did not prompt me for password. Simply executed the
hyperlink as expected.

Is there a setting we are missing?

Again, this is a W2K, IIS5, .NET 1.0 ASP.NET web application.

Thank you
 
Hi,
Sorry, even i found out now that the browser caches the
Authentication header & sends it with every request made
from the active instance, its only the Session variables
which wont be active after Session timeout.

M working on it, hope to get thru' on this. but seems a
bit tougher than b4.

Rgds,
