The session will expire on the server when it times out.

If you want the browser to redirect at the same time you'd have to have a counter on the client, in JavaScript, which on 0 would do a redirect to your login page.

The controller cannot force the redirect of a browser without some action from the client. You could also look at having some kind of persistant connection like SignalR but that might be more than you need.

Another solution would be to have a refresh header like in this answer
