RE: Users keep getting logged out

My users are experiencing this as well. I sometimes do but can't put my finger on what I did before to make it happen (I am not removing cookies or anything like that...)

Hi Allan,

Hope your well. I'm looking further into this issue.

I've asked before however could you tell me if your still experiencing this behaviour. Also i notice your running an early RC release would it be possible to update to the latest release candidate. Who would be the contact for upgrading at TweakXP?

Hi All,

Just wondering if this problem persists? Bare seems to have now resolved this however i'm keen to determine if this is a genuine forum related issue.

Any further comments are certainly appreciated :)

Ryan,

I'm now experiencing this issue as well... When I log in (with 'remember me' checked) I still get logged out after the set duration. (This is on RC2)

Is this issue being looked at... I really don't want to modify the coding as suggested within this thread.

This is happening on 3 testing RC2 installations that I have going.

Thanks...

P.S. Allan -- Have you resolved this issue?

[quote][b]fadi (5/10/2005)[/b][hr]Just a wild idea that will test my other post's theory:

The code is setting expiration date on the cookie of Now.AddMinutes(session timeout). Now is relative to the server not the client right? how would the cookie know to adjust it to the client's time?

Go to InstantASP.Common/Authentication/Authentication.vb line 129

Comment the else statement:

'authCookie.Expires = System.DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(InstantASP.Common.Configuration.AppSettings.SessionTimeOut)

Recompile and give it a shot

Did you try this solution?

Allan... your last post had a post # starting with 666... Ooooh, that can't be a good sign :w00t: ha ha ha

I understand - but we prefer not to send 20,000 emails to anounce a bug in the software. A fix is preferable.

Remember with 4.0 you have the bulk email feature built in.

This problem continues - and is quite annoying both to us and our members. They are being logged off as they are posting and their posts appear as "by anonymous". It's happening far too frequently and there is no way to get the message to all of them to check the "remember me" box (as you know, we are a busy forum with many members)

Just wondering...

Back when TweakXP.com just upgraded to 3.4, I remember asking the admins (Steve & Allan) for "session cookies" which would allow users to remain logged in until the browser is closed. Isn't this possible?

Just to clarify - I pretty sure that last sentence in the post above should read "users are very [b][i]pleased[/b][/i]...." :)

Hi Ryan,

I have adjusted the web.config file but it still seems that only after a few minutes people get logged out. Somtimes when I am in the admin section just looking at settings all of a sudden I get kicked out.

There also seems to be a lot of exceptions being thrown that were clogging up my mail queue. I forgot to add my email address in the web.config file so now I will be getting them now and will let you know which one keeps comming up.

But once again, my users are very with the new software and so am I :)

-Steve

Hi Steve,

You can increase the duration the forms authentication ticket is held on the users computer if they don't choose to automatically login within the Web.Config file.

Within RC1 you can increase the duration for this cookie by modifying the timeout attribute within the sessionStage tag. With the final v4.0 release this setting will be obtained from the forms tag within the authentication elemenets.

Could i suggest increase this to say 40 to ensure users remain logged in for 40 minutes. Please keep me posted.

Yes, I'm experiencing the same issue.

Hi everyone,

I have gotten quite a few reports that my visitors keep getting logged out shortly after they log in. I just check the remember me box when I log in and that seems to take care of the problem, but for people that don't want to do that, are often out of luck.

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

-Steve
