We currently use DNN 4.5.1 and I have a question about the length of sessions and the remember me part of the login. We have set the Users online time in Host settings to 20 minutes and I assume this will be the length of the session for each user (correctly me if I'm worng please) but is it simply a case of changing this to a higher number to lengthen the session or do we need to alter something in the .NET setup (or the web.config file)?

Another problem we appear to have is no matter if we click the remember me tick box, we are not remebered the next time you come back in.

I notice on this site (and many others) that no matter how long it's been since you were away, if you ticked that box you are remembered. Is there something I'm missing in the configuration or do we need to move to 4.6.2?

Thanx

Thanx for the reply. Basically what I'm seeing at the moment is that users need to keep entering their username/passwords repeatedly for each session unless they come back in within about 20 minutes or so.

So if I logged onto my site now then left it and came back in about an hour then I'd need to log in again (even if I had the remember me ticked, etc). However it's been 24 hours since I was on this site and I've had no need to login as the cookie appears to have remembered me.

Should this be the case? Should I need to have to log in every time even if I've got the remember me ticked?

Is this what has been done here then?

Thanx as always guys.
