Hello, I see that the session.timeout value does not match with timeout value configured in web_config. For a test purpose, I set a 1 minute timeout

forms name=".DOTNETNUKE" protection="All" timeout="1"
 

in asp.net code, Session.Timeout is always = 20 minutes, but session ends after 1 minute for users (they will be logged out after 1 minute).

I have tried also to get this value using the following code:

Dim sessionStateSection As SessionStateSection = CType(ConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.web/sessionState"), SessionStateSection)
Dim configuredTimeout As Integer = sessionStateSection.Timeout.TotalMinutes

But I always got 20.

So, how can I retrieve server side the real value of session timeout? I need to know, in a module I am developing, when the user will be logged out.

Thanks!

I guess you have to configure sessionState in the system.web section. See HttpSessionState.Timeout Property (System.Web.SessionState) | Microsoft Learn for details.

Happy DNNing!
