              cookieless="true|false"
              timeout="number of minutes"
              stateConnectionString="tcpip=server:port"
              sqlConnectionString="sql connection string"
              stateNetworkTimeout="number of seconds"/>

<configuration>
   <system.web>
      <sessionState mode="InProc"
                    cookieless="true"
