    Constantly logged out of back office

    Is it possible to setup Umbraco to basically never log the person out or at least a week long session? I get logged out every 15 minutes it seems. How are content writers supposed to not lose all their content if they only have 15 minutes to finish an entire article? Sometimes I'll be logged out even though I just saved something a couple seconds before.

    umbracoTimeOutInMinutes does nothing. keepUserLoggedIn does nothing.

    Why do these fields even exist?

    The site is using IIS Express right now.

    Hi Brad,

    Try have a look in the web.config file, and search for umbracoTimeOutInMinutes as standard this value is set to 20 min.

    <add key="umbracoTimeOutInMinutes" value="20" />
    

    Configures the number of minutes without any requests being made before the Umbraco user will be required to re-login. Any backoffice request will reset the clock.

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Hi Dennis,

    Thanks for the reply. If you see above I mentioned I tried that setting and it doesn't seem to do anything. I have it set to 2880 right now.

    Thank you,

    If anyone else is having this problem I had to set my umbracoTimeOutInMinutes to the default. With keepUserLoggedIn set to true it doesn't work unless timeout is also default.
