You don't need to restart IIS.
Editing web.config will start a new application instance and session.

If you want your application, which uses ASP.NET membership,
to not keep you logged in for 20 minutes, change the timeout for
the forms authentication cookie.
The session duration has no bearing on the duration
of the timeout period configured for forms authentication.
Look for the "timeout" element of the forms authentication section
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="Login.aspx"
protection="All"
timeout="20"
etc...
/>
....and change *that* timeout to whatever you want to, in minutes.
You will see that the logged-in period changes to match the number of minutes you specify.

Hi;
Ok, I changed the timeout to 3 (minutes), restarted IIS, logged in to my app
which we use the ASP.NET membership/role provider for, waited 5 minutes, then
went to a different page and it displayed that page - I was still logged in.
If I wait 21 minutes and go to a different page it makes me log in again.
Am I not understanding something on the session timeout?

Hi Dave,
As for ASP.NET SessionState, the timeout setting does be the "timeout"
attribute of the <sessionState> element:
#sessionState Element
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h6bb9cz9.aspx
As for the session timeout behavior, how did you found that the session
hasn't been timeout. When a old session has been timeout, a new one will be
started. Have you checked the sessionID to verify that a different
sessionID has been established?
