Topic: Deleting Cookie when ASP Session Expires

Subject: Deleting Cookie when ASP Session Expires

I have my website set to timeout at 20 minutes using the Session.Timeout=20 on the main index.asp page.

When the user logs into the website they are automatically logged into the forum using the forum API.

I've noticed that the ASP session will timeout properly but the user can still access the forum as the cookie is still active.

Is it possible to check to see if the session has timed out and force the cookie to delete (and log the user out of the forum)?

Something like (psydo code)

If Session = unactive Then

response.redirect = "forum-logout.asp"

End IF

I have an ASP page that if the user clicks the link "Log Out" it closes the session and runs the code to delete the cookie.

Thanks,

Joe

If Session ("name")= "" or Session ("name")=null Then

response.redirect = "forum-logout.asp"

End IF

In ASP Cookie and Session are two separate thing.
