Setting Session State timeouts

[Justin Dutoit]

Hey. For lower security situations, like a home shopping site used from a
secure home environment, how long should the session timeout be? I'd like
people
to be able to take all day to shop if they want- I wonder if they should
have to log in
again every half hour of inactivity. I guess you would burden the server too
much if the
session state was much over 20 minutes ...

Cheers

Justin,

Going more than 20 minutes could certainly be difficult for the server
(depending on what kind of setup of course). Why not look into going
sessionless?
