Web Configuration File

The web configuration file (web.config) contains some of the application settings such as the database connection string, log file path, log verbosity, and persistent login behavior.

The file is located in the Web installation directory. For example, C:\Program Files (x86)\NovaStor\NovaBACKUP Central Management Console\WebRoot\Web\web.config

Persistent login settings

When a user chooses to login and persist their login information, the default behavior is to keep them logged in for 7 days since they last visited the web application.

<authentication mode="Forms">
  <!-- forms session times out in 7 days -->
  <forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login" slidingExpiration="true" path="/" name="ManagementServer" timeout="10080" protection="All"/>
</authentication>

For more technical information about these configuration settings, see forms Element for authentication (ASP.NET Settings Schema).
