While
working on browser enabled InfoPath forms, I got the following error message:
The security validation for this page has timed out. Click back in
your Web browser, refresh the page, and try your operation again.

Valuable
comment from Clayton Cobb: “What you're experiencing is the BROWSER
timeout for SharePoint, which of course affects browser forms, but it's not
related to InfoPath. It's a farm setting
for all of SharePoint, and it's related to the browser security, not InfoPath
forms. Your users aren't hitting an
InfoPath timeout; they are hitting a browser timeout. The default is 30 minutes, and that's to
protect your system from security breaches.
If you want to change it for people to fill out InfoPath forms, then
you're going to have to change it for the entire farm, and it will affect all
browser sessions unrelated to InfoPath.
My
recommendation is to provide a custom save button that allows the user to save progress
along the way”
What resolution I have
applied:-
1) Open
the SharePoint 2010 central administration
2) Application
Management section
3) Click
on Manage web applications
4) This
will open the Web applications list page.
5) Select
the particular web application
6) Click
on General Settings from the Ribbon.
7) This
will open the Web Applications General Settings dialog box.
8) From
there Web page Security Validations property
9) Change
the Security validations expires which is by default 30 minutes to Never.
