URGENT: please help ASP.NET Forms authentication and recycling of application pool

[anjinho]

Hello

Now and then while using a webapp written in asp.net I lose my
variables stored in sessions variables.
I lose them before the time out of 20minutes is over. Sometimes just
after a few minutes.

I think this is because of the application pool that gets recycled.

The webconfig is configured to inproc <sessionState mode="InProc" ....

Now my question is:
When I rewrite my application and start using forms authentication will
I lose my logged in userid that is stored within
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.name?

Or is it always sent (within a cookie) to the website and when the
application is recycled it is rebuild so I never lose it within the
specified time out?

I just want a solution so I don't lose my userid.

And I can't use basic authentication or windows authentication because
the site is hosted for me and it doesn't have an ADS.

Thanks in advance

Andrew

Hello anjinho,

Context.User is rehydrated on every request and does not rely on something
store InProc.

A quick way of mitigating the recycling problem is to use the StateServer
- change web.config to StateServer and enabled the local ASP.NET StateServer
service in computer manager.

Additionally, you should determine what's causing the Application pool
recycles. A web app pool should not be recycling every 20 minutes (or less).

Cheers
Ken
