    Session state timeout value ignored?

    Hi, I have an ASP.NET 2.0 website that uses SQL Server session state. All
    works well with session state, except it seems like no matter what value I
    use for the timeout in web.config, the session always times out after 20
    minutes. I have upped the session timeout to 240 minutes (4 hours), deployed
    the site, even restarted the web server, and still the session times out
    after 20 minutes. It seems to be ignoring the timeout value in web.config.
    Also, we do not set the timeout value explicitly in code anywhere. Ideas?

    Thanks in advance!

      Well there is a second check,

      Run the IIS Server Control, scroll to your web application, right click and
      select properties, In directory Tab click the Configuration Button, in
      Options tab you can specify your time out value.... if still the problem
      persists then ur machine.config file value must be overriding the Session cfg.

          Thanks, Murtaza. I think I have it fixed...It looks like when using ASP.NET
          Forms authentication mode, the timeout parameter for Forms authentication
          trumps the timeout parameter for session state. I have upped the timeout
          parameter for Forms authentication from its default of 30 to the desired 240
          (4 hours) and deployed to the live site. It now seems like the 240 minute
          timeout interval is being honored. Jamie
