the timeout you specify in the web.config will be considered.
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".ASPXFORMSDEMO" loginUrl="logon.aspx"
protection="All" path="/" timeout="30" />
</authentication>
the AuthCookie is stored as cookie (not a session variable) on the client.
each time you get a request to the server, you need to read this cookie and
populate your Context.User with a GenericPrinciple object created using this
cookie. This generally is done in Application_Authenticate method in
global.asax file.
