Hi,

By default session time out is 20 mins in IIS. However you can also change this time in IIS (IIS-->sites-->your site-->session state.).

You can also use this script on page to redirect to singout page after 20 mins:

Alagappan,

You can use the script in this article mentioned by Hemendra. Put that script in the master page of your SharePoint site so that it applies through out the site collection. Thanks.

Hi ,

Here is the steps to solve your problem.

Goto Central Administration -> Application Management > Manage Web application.
Select your Web application.
From Ribbon, Select "General Settings" .
Choose General Settings from it.
From "General Settings" popup choose "Web Page Security Validation" section.
Reduce the "Security validation expires" value to the duration you want.

By default its 30 minutes, that means after 30 minutes it will ask for login credentials.

Hope this will solve your problem.

Regards

Edit your master page in designer and find below tag:

<asp:ScriptManager id="ScriptManager" runat="server" EnablePageMethods="false" EnablePartialRendering="true" EnableScriptGlobalization="false" EnableScriptLocalization="true">
	<Scripts>
		<%--add your script here--%>
	</Scripts> 
</asp:ScriptManager>
Hope it could help

Hi Hemendra,

i know this is an old thread. bu i am facing the same issue of session timeout. 

i found that there were 3 master pages in my sharepoint site.

1. oslo.master

2. seattle.master (default)

3. v4.master

i added the code provided by you to the seattle.master page. but after adding the code my site did not open. it just opens a blank page.

i added the code to the v4.master page and made it the default master page. this time the site opened however it was fully distorted. the timeout however worked.

is there something i need to add/change so that my site looks fine.

please help
