Expire cookie set through FormAuthentication

Question

I have used MemberShipUser API on Login we are validating user and creating FormAuthentication

FormAuthentication.SetAuth(username, false);

now if user doesnot logout and close the browser directly FormAuthentication.SignOut method is not called.

due to which when we reopen the website the user is already logged in.

Answer 1

Either configure the timeout value to an appropriate number or use cookie less forms authentication.

<system.web>
  <authentication mode="Forms">
    <forms loginUrl="Login.aspx"
           protection="All"
           timeout="30" <----------------------------Tune this
           name=".ASPXAUTH" 
           path="/"
           requireSSL="false"
           slidingExpiration="true" <--------------------- Tune this
           defaultUrl="default.aspx"
           cookieless="UseDeviceProfile" <--------------------- Or Turn off cookies
           enableCrossAppRedirects="false" />
  </authentication>
</system.web>
