    We've got an IIS web site with a portal users must login to. Anyway, after a few minutes of inactivity, the users have to login again. How do I increase that timeout from an estimated 5 minutes to something like 60 minutes?

    Thanks

    Um, username and password. It's a MS SQL database.

    Go to
    - IIS Manager
    - Right Cilck on the Websites Folder and go to properties
    - Go to the home directory tab
    - Click Configuration
    - Go to Options
    - Change the sesson state timeout to something larger

    Hope that helps
