Session closing in MVC 4

Question

I have been developing an ASP.NET MVC 4 (with razor) WebApp, that worked great in Debug, and even in Release on my local machine.

Now I uploaded it to the server, and while you are navigating it suddenly, from time to time closes your user session, asking for username and password again.

Any idea of why? Maybe I am losing some configuration or settings requirements, but its driving me mad.

Have you configured your IIS session settings? – Pavel Ronin Sep 06 '13 at 08:54 — Pavel Ronin, Sep 06 '13 at 08:54

It looks like you are confusing Session with Authentication. You probably need to enable FormsAuthentication.SlidingExpiration Property so you aren't automatically logged out.

<authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms loginUrl="member_login.aspx"
         name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH"
         cookieless="UseCookies"
         requireSSL="true" 
         slidingExpiration="TRUE" />
</authentication>

I think that your Session expires after 20 minutes. take a look here: What is default session timeout in ASP.NET?

Also you'll find the solution for your problem, that is to set Session timeout..
