I've installed Umbraco 7 and over the last few days, it's been kicking me out (session timeout) and asking me to log in time and time again. That just a few minutes apart. Anybody else getting the same problems. Any solution?
This is probably answered somewhere in Our, but ther's a key, under your appsettings.config called "umbracoTimeOutInMinutes" change that value for you that is suitable for you.
It's currently set a 20 minutes right now which I believe is default. I probably log in 10 times during that period. So I doubt that this is the problem.
This is annoying me too! Finally I got started on a configuration with V7 and Bootstrap and I cannot find the umbracoTimeOutInMinutes setting in the whole project with Find. Is there a way to set the time out?
It suddenly stopped for me once the site was pretty much done with. It seems that when working in the Settings section and saving a lot, I was getting login prompted. Does not make any sense to me.. My users were not complaining about the issue... and they were working on content only.
I have a client who's pulling her hair out about this on a V7.1.2 site. keepUserLoggedIn doesn't exist any more in the web.config and the umbracoTimeOutInMinutes is set to 20. I'm just wondering if the system understand Ajax calls as activity. I'm getting a lot of grief for this anyway, she wants to sit and "create" her content online (I know) so 20 mins isn't long enough for her but she's often booted out after 5 or 10 minutes.
Any advice to get Umbraco to respect the umbracoTimeOutInMinutes setting at least would be appreciated.
As memory serves, you set the following entry to true and you'll never get logged out. Not what I'd want for a production environment but rather handy for local development I find.
<security>
<!-- set to true to auto update login interval (and there by disabling the lock screen -->
<keepUserLoggedIn>true</keepUserLoggedIn>
</security>
How did I find this setting for the /config/umbracoSettings.config file? It is one of those that isn't included by default but is noted in the documentation link listed at the top of the file (the umbracoSettings.config file was getting mega bloat so rarely used options were removed but you can always add them back in).
The exact same thing is happening to me. I downloaded version 7.3.0 assembly: 1.0.5774.15363 and am trying to debug in VS 2015. I can login, but after I make a few settings changes, I get logged out. I have verified that the keepUserLoggedIn is set to true in umbracoSettings.config.
This is happening as I am making edits in the back office. So sometime less than 1 minute will elapse since my last action.
Does anybody have any ideas why this is happening?
Session Times out after a few minutes

Hey Luc,

Thanks for the reply.

I believe the session is pretty time sensitive, is your computer and server clocks set correctly?
Hi
i have the same problem http://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-7/using-umbraco-7/46816-keepUserLoggedIn-issue
When logged in, can you see what cookies you get assigned (chrome devtools can tell you that under resources)

restarting the site does not seem to do anything as well

Did you restart the app (touch web.config) to make sure it takes note of the change?
is working on a reply...
