Do this:

<existing code>

// Create a cookie and add the encrypted ticket to the cookie as data.
HttpCookie authCookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName,
encryptedTicket);

</existing code>

<add>

authCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(60);

</add>

<existing code>

// Add the cookie to the outgoing cookies collection.
Response.Cookies.Add(authCookie);

</existing code>

Then in the Application_AuthenticateRequest event, after you finish
extracting the roles, reset the exipration of the Cookie and replace it in
the Response.
