Setting the session timeout to 24 hours would probably lead to server performance degradation as a user who hit a page once and didn't return for 24 hours would have a session open for the rest of the day, and sessions take resources.
2 sounds like a good bet, or even using cookies to store the login details would work. Dan -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ross St. Clair Sent: 06 June 2005 19:32 To: ASP Mailing List Subject: [ASP] Avoiding Session Timeout Is anyone using a reliable method of avoiding having their session timeout? I believe I read that the Session.Timeout cannot be set to 0 minutes. At this moment the only thing I can think of is to either: 1.) Set the timeout to the max. value of 24 hours, or 2.) Capture the querystring from the requested URL, perform some kind of integrated login, and then redirect the user to where they intended to go when they clicked the link after the session expired. This way the re-login process would be invisible to them.
