I am using ASP.NET Zero version 7 of ASP.NET Core, MVC and jQuery project.
I am trying to set session timeout / expiry time to automatically log out from the application when the application is idle for some time. Can anybody please let me know how to do this?
In ASP.NET Zero version 8, they are providing this configuration at User Management settings.

Open the web. config file, then increase the value in minutes by using the time out attribute of SessionState element. By default, the session timeout value is 20 minutes.
Click Container Settings > Session management > Set Timeout. Enter the desired timeout value in minutes.
By default, the session timeout is 20 minutes after that session will expire. So if you want to increase or extend the session custom timeout for an application. You can set it in different ways such as using Web.config, Global.asax file, or using IIS. Here are some examples to set sessions custom timeout in ASP.NET or ASP.NET MVC.
ASP.NET MVC Session state is used to temporarily store and retrieve the values for a user when the user navigates to another view in an ASP.NET MVC application. Usually, the session timeout configuration setting will be stored in the web.config file in the MVC application.
If you want to increase the session timeout then open your application web.config file which is placed under your application root folder. Add <sessionState timeout="300"></sessionState> code under <system.web> </system.web> the section as shown below, In this example, I have updated the timeout to 30 min
-1 The Timeout property specifies the time-out period assigned to the Session object for the application, in minutes. If the user does not refresh or request a page within the time-out period, the session ends. IIS 6.0: The minimum allowed value is 1 minute and the maximum is 1440 minutes.
Session expiry for MVC is provided via cookie by ASP.NET Core, independent of ASP.NET Zero.
Call ConfigureApplicationCookie after IdentityRegistrar.Register in Startup.cs:
public IServiceProvider ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
// ...
IdentityRegistrar.Register(services); // No change
AuthConfigurer.Configure(services, _appConfiguration); // No change
services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(o =>
{
o.ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromHours(1);
o.SlidingExpiration = true;
});
// ...
}
The defaults from ASP.NET Core v2.2.8 CookieAuthenticationOptions.cs#L30-L36:
public CookieAuthenticationOptions()
{
ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(14);
ReturnUrlParameter = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.ReturnUrlParameter;
SlidingExpiration = true;
Events = new CookieAuthenticationEvents();
}
