    Hi All,

    If I have the following in my web.config (120 minutes before the form timeout)

        <authentication mode="Forms">
          <forms name=".pageauth" loginUrl="Default.aspx" protection="All" timeout="7200" path="/"/>
        </authentication>

    The timeout works well if the user log into the system from the login screen.  I noticed the timeout was set back to 20 mins (default) If the user try to

    bypass the main login screen (say going to PageABC.aspx).  In this case, the user will be redirected to the login page.  Once successful,

    then it will redirect them back to PageABC.aspx using the ReutrnURL parameter.  What do I need to set to prevent the timer from expiring?

    Steve
