As per this article: http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a626/how-to-enable-aspnet-sql-server-session-on-your-web.aspx I have already contacted support and they have created the relevant schema. I have triple checked and the tables were created successfully on my database. I'm hosting an MVC3 application and here is my web.config file contents: Code: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- For more information on how to configure your ASP.NET application, please visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=152368 --> <configuration> <connectionStrings> <!-- REMOVED FOR PRIVACY --> </connectionStrings> <appSettings> <add key="webpages:Version" value="1.0.0.0"/> <add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true"/> <add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true"/> </appSettings> <system.web> <sessionState mode="SQLServer" allowCustomSqlDatabase="true" cookieless="false" timeout="2880" sqlConnectionString="data Source='tcp:s07.Winhost.com';database='DB_38147_xx';user id='DB_38147_xx_user'; password='xx';" /> <trust level="Full"/> <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0"> <assemblies> <add assembly="System.Web.Abstractions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/> <add assembly="System.Web.Helpers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/> <add assembly="System.Web.Routing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/> <add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/> <add assembly="System.Web.WebPages, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/> </assemblies> </compilation> <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms loginUrl="~/" timeout="2880"/> </authentication> <membership> <providers> <clear/> <add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="ApplicationServices" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="false" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="6" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordAttemptWindow="10" applicationName="/"/> </providers> </membership> <profile> <providers> <clear/> <add name="AspNetSqlProfileProvider" type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider" connectionStringName="ApplicationServices" applicationName="/"/> </providers> </profile> <roleManager enabled="false"> <providers> <clear/> <add name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider" connectionStringName="ApplicationServices" applicationName="/"/> <add name="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.WindowsTokenRoleProvider" applicationName="/"/> </providers> </roleManager> <pages> <namespaces> <add namespace="System.Web.Helpers"/> <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc"/> <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax"/> <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html"/> <add namespace="System.Web.Routing"/> <add namespace="System.Web.WebPages"/> </namespaces> </pages> </system.web> <system.webServer> <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/> <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/> </system.webServer> <runtime> <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Mvc" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"/> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-2.0.0.0" newVersion="3.0.0.0"/> </dependentAssembly> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" culture="neutral"/> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.0.8.0" newVersion="4.0.8.0"/> </dependentAssembly> </assemblyBinding> </runtime> </configuration> Here lies the problem: My users are still getting logged of after some time. I thought using SQL for the session would prevent this issue. Here is the relevant bit of code on how I'm loggin my users in: Code: [HttpPost] public ActionResult Login(LogOnModel model) { using (EfAccountRepository accountRepository = new EfAccountRepository()) { if (accountRepository.ValidateCredentials(model.Email, model.Password)) { [COLOR="Red"]FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.Email, true);[/COLOR] return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home"); } } ModelState.AddModelError("", "Your email or password is incorrect."); return View(model); } Any suggestions?
