How to set session timeout limit for frontend users in joomla 2.5? I had set the Session Lifetime option in Global configuration but it sets the limit in backend only.

you can comment the line JHtml::_('behavior.keepalive'); on top in the file modules/mod_login/tmpl/default.php

After that the time from the backend will also expires the frontend as well as backend

From my tests I have the opinion that the value you set in back-end (Global Configuration > System > Session Lifetime) is used for back-end as well as for front-end.

You may want to check that value you are getting in frontend. Use the code below:

echo "Session will expire in " . JFactory::getSession()->getExpire() / 60 . " min.";

It looks to me that JFactory is responsible with setting the expiration time. It uses the config time or if absent it uses 900 seconds (15 minutes).
