Hi Viv,

I followed through from the link you gave me and found this link showing how to generate a machine key: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/312906

I followed that and put the generated key in my web.config and recycled the app pool but it's still forcing me to log back in after 6 minutes.

I would appreciate any advice on how to try resolving this.
