When a user is idle for about 10 minutes or so, the next time data is accessed, an authentication error occurs on the server.

The user then has to log out.  When he opens the site again, he is automatically logged in and can continue, so the timeout in the config file is being respected.  But I don't understand why the authentication error when the user has been idle for 10 minutes or so.  I need to have it continue to connect to data as long as the app is open.
 
This is the authentication section of the config file:
 
<authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms name=".Jet2_ASPXAUTH" timeout="10000" slidingExpiration="true" />
</authentication>

Hi gregweb;

I believe this has something to do with the Idle Timeout settings in your IIS server. Could you check to see what they are set at?

This link seems to be helpful as well.
