Session not timing out...

Question

Hi all, for some reason, my session is not timing out. If I
leave my browser and come back the next day, I can still continue
working. Can someone tell me why?
My code
<cfapplication name="myApp" sessionmanagement="yes"
sessiontimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0)#">
Thank you so much,
C

Hi Ian, how can I make it so that after 30 minutes if a user
tries to
hit any page in my site, they would go back to login page to
relogin?
Thanks so much,

Check that the session data still exists. This will very
depending on
how exactly you are handling your login state. But since you
mention
session, I will presume you are rolling your own rather then
using the
<cflogin...> some other functionality.
I would do something like this in my code.
<cfif NOT StructKeyExists(session, "LoginName")>
<cflocation url="LoginForm.cfm">
</cfif>
Obviously you would set session.LoginName to some value on a
successful
login. Also note that if this check occurs before the
LoginForm.cfm
page you will create an endless loop. There are much more
sophisticated
solutions, but this gives you a bare bones option.
