Q:The customer is using AX2009 SP1 RU6, Sharepoint 2010, SSRS 2008, Windows Server R2 2008. They are seeing web user sessions days after the user has logged off. Connection timeout settings in IIS are set to 2 minutes and idle timeout on the application pool is set to 1 minute and users have properly logged off. These appear to me to be Reporting and Analysis services content from the Role Center pages. Customer is concerned this will with licensing issues and feels that if they are not active they should not appear. Can I get some help with this?
A:This may depend on if there has been any customizations to use session state or not on EP or your custom web site.
We have seen where we need to edit the web.config for the sessionState, but this may also depend on your version of IIS.
I assume you are running IIS 7.5, but in the EP web.config file under the system.web heading you can try adding:
<sessionState mode=”InProc” timeout=”20″ /> this will timeout is 20 minutes or however often you want this set in minutes.
There may be a few other settings on IIS that may be affecting this so you may want to work with the IIS team as well to understand how they interact.
If the connections are coming from SSRS and SSAS then those connections may also be controlled by the configuration files from those applications.
