Forms authentication periodically requires re-login

I have spent the better part of the morning researching this phenonenom
and found numerous entries. Much discussion about setting the timeout
values on the authentication as well as slidingexpiration. I have not
seen any one verifying that any of these steps were successful, and
more stating that it was not. Does anyone know if this has an answer
of if MS has acknowledged it?

In my situation, I have a intranet (40 users) site and a internet (700
users) site. Both have dev and QA servers. All applications work
great except for the Prod Intranet site. It periodically bounces users
back to the login screen. sometimes after 3 min, sometimes after 10
min. Previously I had been using the default settings because they
were working for me. There is much frustration in the end users. Any
help would be great.

Thanks

Are you using an Application-level or a static variable to store login
information and checking it at Application_BeginRequest ? If yes, this could
be the problem because each user would be provided with one state only - the
current state as left by any user's login. If no, then you will have to look
up the code for bugs. If you are talking about Fragment_caching, you must
post the code.

with regards,

J.v.
