Good luck all, my votes are cast and I have voted totally based on how I believe that user will benefit the forums from a moderation stand point. 7 hours to go.

@SPDoctor @ StuartPegg I wish that you could review reviews so you could see the quality of peoples work :) At the moment you just have to notice people. At the moment there are only 2 who have a high quality of moderation history. While others who are active are mediocre from what I have seen of their guidance. I feel this s will be my guiding factor in the winners.

Hi guys, only me. One thing I have to say for all moderators and reviewers is that I understand people are trying to "Win" this election, but I have seen the quality of reviewing drop considerably since the start of the election. I would be sad myself and stop using SharePoint StackExchange if new users aren't being guided well enough into correcting their own posting errors. Guidance over correction.

Looks good

There must be an article for this then, time to hit google.

Thinking in the envelope that's passed is there anything that sets the session timeout and overriding sp settings?

Is the fba login custom?

Okay so we know the practice of expiring cookies for fba is sound for your deployment, now just need to find out how to set the expiry. Perhaps there is an option in the portal?

seems like a normal cookie nothing custom in the properties

is there any other properties

expires should be the time the cookie expires, unless it has a timeout property which then would be the time the cookie was made

Is the server time different to the client side time? The time is set server side.

Have you used a cookie inspector to check the cookies to see if the timeout is actually being set?

forms loginUrl="/_login/default.aspx" timeout="360" < surely that is 360 minutes according to the documentation you linked? Wouldn't this be 20? Or 1/2 for testing?

@user1263981 hey, in central admin web apps, you select the authentication provider in auth providers, if you unselect it and apply and reselect and apply the settings may then take effect. The code you posted for use session cookies will probably require this. Failing this depending on the portal you are using try and look through the configuration manual for cookie expiry settings.

More information about the whole FBA would be required, ie the portal vendor, if its custom etc etc, but basically it just needs the session cookies expiring after 20 minutes. This should be straight forward... But how many times have I said that about SP ;) Post as much detail as possible, the auth section of your webconfig and web app settings as well. Did you deactivate and reactivate your auth provider btw after config changes? If you don't settings wont apply.

You are right sorry I presumed seconds "Specifies the amount of time, in integer minutes"

Depends on what provider/how your authentication portal is configured if this would be supported. This is something I can't really help with. But it doesn't hurt to try if you have a test environment.

We have that at our local Microsoft Office, we have some massive companies in Edinburgh, probably 2nd biggest hub outside of London. It's really good to organise events, we take it in turns and invite companies to presentations, Banks, Universities etc.. It really pays off.

Anyway I have to get back to work :) Good luck and just email me if you need anything with it

SPDoctor, James Love, and a few others

Going to be a stackexchange meetup there

Ah so not going to SharePoint Saturday here then

Are you from the UK?

Then I think it's 3 week hardcore in June

Taking precursor exams actually april

waited for 2013 to be sorted out to take it

I'm taking my MCSM in april

Just send me an email if you get stuck

Thanks :)

Sure

Ian here has a list of Microsoft certs longer than his arm, and he says it should be fine, so I believe him :P

Then you would have to do the migration solution

Which is about a 20minute job + index time on your server for a full crawl

Worst case scenario is you have to remake it

Without looking at their dll I wouldn't be able to tell

I don't know

and then disable it

Just remember to dump the indexes first

Well, I don't think swapping the services over and leaving it on will break it

It would just need the name adding in for the correct service (At a hunch)

I'm sure SPQuery works the same

Shame you can't just reverse it quickly and fix that

I love it

They aren't a Microsoft partner, and I can't see any SP accreditations on a lookup, I'm amazed your client went with them

Who are they so I don't use them :P

But didn't write it properly

So they utilise search

oh
