need session to expire in a defined time interval

Hi
i have a asp.mvc 3 application running on Winhost.com and i have to set the session expiration interval to 5 minutes.
for some reason i'm not able to do that ... any sugesstion?
I have set in web.config following lines:
<system.web>
<sessionState timeout="5"></sessionState>
...
</system.web>
but for now it doesn't seems to work ?
any idea why ?
Thanks

 

At Winhost, we support both InProc and SQLServer session. By default, ASP.NET session is stored in-process (InProc). See this atricle

Thanks a lot for quick reply. This helps me a lot
