Re-Authenticate users after timeout

[Fred Plourde]

Hi,

I'm working on a web application using asp.net, vb.net and SQL 2000.

I'm using web form authentication to control the access of the application.
I'm trying to force the user to go back to the authentification page after a
timeout occurs.

The Session seems to expire but the cookie (non persistent) is still active.

What can I do to force the user to re-authenticate after a timeout.

Thanks,

Fred

Look into using Forms authentication which manages all of this for you, rather
than you doing it manually with Session variables.
