Normally in ASP.Net the session cookies are set with a 20 minute timeout. That’s usually pretty good. Depending on your app, you may want a javascript timer as well. Otherwise the browser won’t understand when it’s logged out until a page refresh happens and sensitive data can be exposed.
How long will a cookie last if no expiry date is set and what is this kind of cookie called?
Session Cookies
There are two types of Cookies. Session Cookies: These Cookies reside on the Web browser and have no expiry date.
You should change your code to this: FormsAuthentication. SignOut(); Session. Abandon(); // clear authentication cookie HttpCookie cookie1 = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.
What happens when cookie expires?
If a cookie has expired, the browser does not send that particular cookie to the server with the page request; instead, the expired cookie is deleted. This depends upon the specific browser and also the user’s personal settings.
What does Formsauthentication SignOut () do?
The SignOut method removes the forms-authentication ticket information from the cookie or the URL if CookiesSupported is false . Calling the SignOut method only removes the forms authentication cookie. The Web server does not store valid and expired authentication tickets for later comparison.
What is Auth cookie?
A Cookie-based authentication uses the HTTP cookies to authenticate the client requests and maintain session information on the server over the stateless HTTP protocol. The server then compares the session ID stored in the cookie against the one in the database to verify the validity.
I need my UseCookieAuthentication to expire after 15 minutes if there is no activity. The cookie is setting the time properly after I log in via Chrome. The issue is this: The time keep sliding even though I am NOT doing anything on my page or with my website. What else might cause the time to slide even though I’m not doing anything?
What’s the expiry time for a cookie in ASP.NET?
The cookie correctly comes out with a 1 minute expiry time, but no matter how often I refresh the page after logging in, the cookie is never refreshed to extend the expiry. I’ve tried with and without HTTPS.
A persistent cookie is kept when the navigator is closed (if not it won’t survive closing the browser). It seems you are trying to sync the “browser session” and the “authentication session”. Which problem are you trying to solve ?
What happens when the authentication token has expired?
Authentication is token that provides access to secured resources. If the token has expired or does not exist then the user must re-authenticate. IMHO, you have a design bug if you need to sync Session and Authentication. However, both have configuration where you can set the timeout to the identical values.
