I want to increase the time-out of a login-session created with the standard server behaviour of Dreamweaver. The code is very simple:

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
&lt;% Session.Timeout = 30 %&gt;
</font id=code></pre id=code>

But where do I put the code?! Only at the login page... or...?

Hi Rene,

I would have thought you would do this when the session variable is created but I thought the IIS session duration setting was the default duration, I dont think you can increase the session variable above the duration set in IIS. You might want to check microsoft iis support to be sure.

Hi Rene,

I had this problem a while back. Vince is bang on, you have to edit the IIS settings which unless you have a dedicated server you'll be out of luck. One way around it is to have a frame on the page which refeshes itself every 20mins or so

Hi Rene

My understanding on using the method in a page is that it will only apply to the page containing the script. If you want to set the session timout for all sessions and not a single page, you could add the script to the session onstart in the global.asa file or do as Vince has suggested and configure th change in IIS.
