user logged out frequently (Default Membership provider)

Question

I have asp.net mvc 3 site deployed on shared hosting. My problem is that my site frequently logged out user automatically after 5 to 10 min. Although i have set the time to 200 min in web.config and application_start as shown below

<forms loginUrl="~/Account.mvc/index" slidingExpiration="true" timeout="200" protection="All" />



HttpCookie authCookie = FormsAuthentication.GetAuthCookie(userName, rememberMe);
FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(authCookie.Value);   
FormsAuthenticationTicket newTicket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(1, userName, DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(200), rememberMe, CurrentUser.UserID +"|"+ CurrentUser.EmployeeID);     
authCookie.Value = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(newTicket);
Response.Cookies.Add(authCookie);

Where are you setting this `FormsAuthenticationTicket`? Are you using Session? — Darin Dimitrov, Jul 05 '11 at 06:22
where are you using this code? Why are you reemiting the authentication cookie? — Darin Dimitrov, Jul 05 '11 at 06:44
Actually I am saving extra info in cookie as i updated my answer — Tassadaque, Jul 05 '11 at 06:59

Same issue solved for me by adding the generated machineKey as well. Thanks. – Ben Griswold Mar 04 '12 at 05:56
