DotNetNuke Daily Tip #12 7/26/06 Staying Logged In
Learn how to fix login issues on your DNN website running on .NET 2.0 framework. Adjust the timeout setting in Web.config for longer login sessions.
Tips were slim last week as I was off in Denver for a few days.
Have you noticed that since running your DNN website on the .net 2.0 framework you can’t stay logged in for more than an hour? Even if you have the “remember me” option checked?
Well here’s your fix. In the Web.config of your DNN instance find the TIMEOUT section. <forms name=”.DOTNETNUKE” protection=“All” timeout=“60” /> forms name=”.DOTNETNUKE” protection=“All” timeout=“60” /> Change the value 60 to something larger <forms name=”.DOTNETNUKE” protection=“All” timeout=“600000” /> This should help you to stay logged in! A very annoying feature of .net 2.0 is that it actually follows this timeout, how dare them! ;) forms name=”.DOTNETNUKE” protection=“All” timeout=“600000” /> This should help you to stay logged in! A very annoying feature of .net 2.0 is that it actually follows this timeout, how dare them! ;) This should help you to stay logged in!
