Hi Wei,

You can change the session timeout settings by navigating to Administration -> Settings -> Advanced -> Security and change the value of the following fields:

AuthCookieTimeoutDescription
BackendUsersSessionTimeoutDescription

to whatever you want.

Hi,

If I set this BackendUsersSessionTimeout under in "Sitefinity Administration -> Settings -> Advanced -> Security" menu it works well in my application.

How can I get the value of this session timeout value to write into my application screen?

I have try to write the "Session.Timeout" variable but I get constantly 20 minutes even if I set "BackendUsersSessionTimeout" to 1 minutes.
