Modify Web Browser Timeout

You can configure Responder Web to display a message at the bottom of each page that shows the amount of time remaining before the session expires, plus a pop-up that notifies when two minutes remain:

If the user clicks Yes, then the expiration time left is reset. If the user clicks No, then as soon as the expiration time is reached, the user will be logged off.

Session Timeout Message

To enable the Session Timeout Message, edit the sessiontimeout.js file that is located by default at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Responder. This is a read-only file, so you will need to make it writeable. You need to uncomment two sections that refer to Session Timeout, and the sections can be identified by locating the following comment:

/**********Uncomment the following to display the counter of the session timeout./

Countdown

To enable the countdown, edit the web.config file as follows:

After

	Copy Code
<authentication mode="Forms"> <forms loginUrl="~/login.aspx" protection="All" slidingExpiration="true" timeout="30" /> </authentication>

Add

	Copy Code
<sessionState timeout="30"/>

where 30 = 30 minutes, which can be changed as desired.

Also in the web.config file, locate the following XML:

	Copy Code
<authentication mode="Forms"> <forms loginUrl="~/login.aspx" protection="All" slidingExpiration="true" timeout="30" /> </authentication> <membership defaultProvider="DatabaseMembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="30"> <providers> <remove name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" /> <add name="DatabaseMembershipProvider" type="Miner.Responder.Shared.Security.DatabaseMembershipProvider, Miner.Responder.Shared" minRequiredPasswordLength="5" minRequiredNonAlphanumericCharacters="0" requiresUniqueEmail="false" connectionStringName="" /> </providers> </membership>

Copy Code

<authentication mode="Forms">
        <forms loginUrl="~/login.aspx" protection="All" slidingExpiration="true" timeout="30" />
</authentication>
<membership defaultProvider="DatabaseMembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="30">
        <providers>
                <remove name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" />
                <add name="DatabaseMembershipProvider" type="Miner.Responder.Shared.Security.DatabaseMembershipProvider, Miner.Responder.Shared" minRequiredPasswordLength="5" minRequiredNonAlphanumericCharacters="0" requiresUniqueEmail="false" connectionStringName="" />
        </providers>
</membership>

Set the timeout and userIsOnlineTimeWindow values to something greater than the value that you set above in sessionState timeout.

Time Remaining in Session

To see the time remaining in the session on the web page, edit the default.master file that is located by default at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Responder. You need to uncomment the section that contains the following title comment:

<%-Uncomment the following to display the counter of the session timeout.-%>
