Use this code in the ConfigureServices() method of Startup class:
```
services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options =>
{
    options.Cookie.Name = ".AspNetCore.Identity.Application";
    options.ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(20);
    options.SlidingExpiration = true;
});
```
Identity cookie name is .AspNetCore.Identity.Application which you can check it in the developer tools of the browser (see below image).

Hi MLT111,

If you want to set expiration of identity cookie,set like below:
```
services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options =>
{
    options.ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromHours(1);
});
```
Best Regards,

Be sure you have added the following code,then it would automatically redirect to the login page:
```
services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options =>
 {
     //other options...
     options.LoginPath = "/Account/Login";
     options.ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(20);
});
```

You will need to reload your page every 20 minutes time from JavaScript. So if the user's timeout is already done then due to the page reload he will be redirected to the login page.

You can simply use the setInterval method of JavaScript to do the page reload every 20 minutes time.
```
setInterval(function(){ 
    location.reload(); 
}, 1000*60*20);
```
There are also some chrome extensions to do the automatic page reload after a given time. See https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/super-auto-refresh-plus/globgafddkdlnalejlkcpaefakkhkdoa?hl=en
