Ripplestone has a default timeout period of 20 minutes. If the application has not been used for 20 minutes, the session will end and the user will need to login again to continue. The default value can be changed by editing the web.config file located in C:\Sites\Ripplestone. The web.config file is an XML file that can be edited with any text editor or XML reader. Look for the authentication section and change the timeout to whatever value (in minutes) you would like.

Below is an example of the authentication section with the default value of 20 minutes.

<authentication mode="Forms">

<forms name="RSAuth" loginUrl="SignOn.aspx" protection="All" timeout="20"/>

</authentication>
