hi

 

Yes of course the web config is cookie based, just didnt explain myself right.  And no users cannot change the IIS settings.  But im not sure this is what the poster of the original thread yes suggesting

Confusing!!

Anyway i hope you get your problem sorted becuase i have noticed that very issue before

 

Cheers

I have long been vexed by the fact that the "Remember Me" function has never worked in DNN and IE (though it seems to work okay with FireFox). I finally took time out to search on this forum to see what the problem is, and to see about correcting that. (It's just embarrasing to have a function that doesn't work -- gives a bad impression to visitors).

I was pleased to see that it could be resolved, apparently, with nothing but a change to the web.config file. In reading the thread, however, I can't discern exactly where to make the change. I see some possible candidates, but I am loathe to start experimenting. Can anyone provide the specific section to modify?

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks John.

So, I have some basic questions about how it's "supposed" to work.

It appears that if I set it to Remember Login while logging in, then simply close the browser without logging out, then launch a new brower and navigate to the portal, it does remember me. However, if I click "Logout," close the browser, relaunch a browser, and navigate to the portal, it doesn't remember my login. Is this how it's designed to work?

Suppose I want it to remember user logins for a week. I'd set, in web.config, timeout="10080"? If so, are there any drawbacks to setting it to such a large number?
