I'm trying to use the ASP.NET 2 Login control to authenticate users held in
a SQL Server database. Is it possible to implement a finite session period
of say 20 minutes after which time the user is prompt to re-enter their
credentials? Is there any way to do it without setting the Session timeout?

session has nothing to do with authentication.

if you are using forms authentication, the authentication timeout
(default 30 min) is specified in web.config in the authentication section.
