Session.Timeout

The Timeout property specifies the time-out period assigned to the Session object for the application, in minutes. If the user does not refresh or request a page within the time-out period, the session ends.

Syntax

Session.Timeout [ = nMinutes]

Parameters

nMinutes: Specifies the number of minutes that a session can remain idle before the server terminates it automatically. The default is 10 minutes. Session.Timeout has no hard-coded limit. Most Web administrators set this property to 8 minutes. It should not be set higher than 20 minutes (except in special cases) because every open session is holding onto memory. It should also not be set lower than 4 minutes because clients rarely respond within that time resulting in a loss of session state.

Applies To
