I am creating my own authentication ticket using the following code:
string formsCookieStr = string.Empty;
FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(
1, // version
username, // user name
DateTime.Now, // issue time
DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30), // expires
false, // Persistence
userRoleData // user data
);
formsCookieStr = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(ticket);
HttpCookie FormsCookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, formsCookieStr);
HttpContext.Response.Cookies.Add(FormsCookie);
I want the expiration to be a sliding expiration - each time the client sends a request then the expiration should be reset to 30 mins. However, I'm only creating the ticket when the user first logs in. Will ASP.NET automatically keep sliding the expiry time for me, or do I need to do something 'manually' to implement the sliding expiration?
