.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / July 2005Forms authorization cookie always set to expire in 2055?
I'm using Forms authorization. In my <forms> section I have timeout="30", but when I examine the cookie, it shows it expiring in 2055? Why? <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms loginUrl="/login.aspx" protection="All" timeout="30" path="/"> <credentials passwordFormat="Clear"> <user name="guest" password="xxxxxxx" /> </credentials> </forms> </authentication> Because they hard coded it to expire after 50 years. You can change that (albeit manually). -Brock DevelopMentor http://staff.develop.com/ballen > I'm using Forms authorization.

[quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >> </forms> >> </authentication> The timeout is used when it's not a persistent cookie. IOW, the boolean parameter to FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie. The docs cover this (except where it says "Persistent cookies do not time out.". They do time out after 50 years, as you discovered): http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpgenref/html/g ngrfforms.asp -Brock DevelopMentor http://staff.develop.com/ballen > So, what good is setting the "timeout" value in the <form> section? > Maybe you didn't read my post accurately.
