Session Timeout
Quote from Deepa Kapoor on November 27, 2025, 7:57 amIs there any way I can turn up the time for the session time out for the officeclip to end before we get the error: /OfficeClip/sessionover.aspx
Is there any cookie base option to allow for complete day?

Quote from Deepa Kapoor on November 27, 2025, 7:58 amOfficeClip Session Timeout can be controlled in a few ways:
- Controlling Timeout from OcTools: Run OcTools.exe from the installation folder (usually it is c:\program files\officeclip\8 folder) and select option 5 (Set Timeouts). Adjust both the timeouts to required values and click on Apply. Finally click on Cancel.
- Controlling timeout in IIS: IIS 6 and IIS 7 can also control the idle timeout for the Web Application Server (WAS). Idle Timeout enables WAS to automatically shut down worker processes which are idle for a predetermined amount of time. Both the Idle Timeout feature and Demand Start feature improve IIS reliability, scalability, and performance. Please see the IIS documentation on how to control this timeout.

I ended up turning up the "idle timeout" In the OfficeClip Pool Properties, and the OfficeClip.Install.OcConfigure program.

Quote from Deepa Kapoor on November 27, 2025, 7:59 amTo manually change the timeout please do the following:
- Make a backup copy of main web.config (if you installed OfficeClip in default location it is in c:\program files\OfficeClip\8\OfficeClip) file.
- Open this file on a text editor (preferably Notepad++ or any other xml editor, notepad will also do but *not* Wordpad or MSWord).
- Search for the line that starts with <sessionState and change the timeout value in the same statement (it is in minutes)
- Search for the line that starts with <forms and change the timeout value in the same statement (it is in minutes)
- Now test the timeout, if it still does not work, copy back the old web.config and contact OfficeClip Support.

Please see the following:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="aspxauth"
loginUrl="default.aspx"
protection="All"
timeout="900"
path="/"
requireSSL="false"
slidingExpiration="true"
cookieless="UseCookies"
enableCrossAppRedirects="false" />
</authentication><sessionState mode="InProc"
stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"
cookieless="false" timeout="60" />Problem is that it still timeout within 2-3 mins.
