How to set asp.net Identity cookies expires time

Question

I use Asp.Net Identity to control my app\'s authorization. Now, I need to do this: if the user does not operate in 30 minutes, jump to the login page, when he login does not

Answer 1

I had the same issue and this code worked for me (inside the Startup.cs file)..

services.Configure(options =>
{
    options.Cookies.ApplicationCookie.ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(3650);
});

This adds roughly 10 years to the persistent cookie.

NB: If you wanted less of an expiry time you could use TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1); for 1 minute or TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30); for 30 seconds etc..
