How to Change IIS In Process Session Timeout

How Can We Help?

< Back

Background

The default in process session timeout value is 20 minutes. This means that when a user is logged in to the XMPro XMWorkspace and is for more than 20 minutes, IIS will recycle the session data resulting in the user being logged out automatically. The below steps show how to configure and amend the timeout period. For more information on Session States and in Process sessions read this article on the MSDN Microsoft developer site.

Step 1:

In the XMWorkspace web.config file (found in the root folder of the website) the following setting is available:

“<sessionState mode=‘InProc’ timeout=‘20’ />”.

To amend the timeout value, find the setting in the web.config file and amend the timeout value to the required value.

Step 2:

In IIS, find the appropriate website application pool that the XMWorkspace is linked to. Navigate to Advanced Settings (right click->Advanced Settings) and change the setting “Idle Time-out (minutes)” value to the required value.
