Hi,
I think this site is facing the same problem as mine. I have to keep on signing in even though I have checked the Remember Login checkbox. Is there a fix for this issue that I could also implement on my site. I'm using DNN version 5.1.4.
Thanks,
Wasim |

Wasim,
We actually did not have this properly configured. This is controlled by the "PersistentCookieTimeout" setting in the web.config. Which by default is 0, which does not allow the functionality to work.
I just modified it so that this site, if the box is checked will remember your login for 7 days. |

Hello Mitchel,
Thanks for your prompt response. The value in web.config is in minutes. So in your case you have set it to 10080 for 7 days? Now if I were to make it persistent like forever, how do I go about doing that. Please advise. Is it advisable to make it persistent forever?
Thanks once again. |

Yes, that is correct for the 7 days.
Technically a cookie is limited to two years out, you could use 525600 for 1 year.
However, there is a security concern with this setting, as allowing users to select this will allow the information to be persisted. If the user selects this on say a public computer and forgets to log off, someone else can get access to their account. |
