AspSessionTimeout

  • Article

AspSessionTimeout specifies, in minutes, the default amount of time that a Session object is maintained after the last request associated with the object is made. You can override this property in script by using the Timeout property of the ASP built-in Session object.

note Note You can use AspSessionTimeout to fine tune your ASP applications. Because Session objects consume memory resources, using this property to limit the lifetime of an individualSessionmakes your applications more scalable.

The Web service setting for this property is applicable to all in-process and pooled out-of-process application keys, at all levels. Metabase settings at the Web server level or lower ignores in-process and pooled out-of-process applications. However, settings at the Web server level or lower are used if that node is an isolated out-of-process application.
