Session Management

ESAPI also has two appropriate interfaces that deal with authentication and session management to further provide protection against these attacks. One is the Authenticator API that includes methods for generating and handling session identifiers and account credentials. The other API is User that securely manages all the variables associated with the state of a user account.

Application_AuthenticateRequest is one of the particular event in ASP.NET pipeline. It can be only fired one request coming from client. I'm afraid you can hardly redirect to this event If I'm not misunderstood your reqiurement.

Instead, If you want to detect user session timeout and reqiure user to re-login. In addition to other post, you can check these links:

Global.asax

Now let’s see deep into Global.asax file,
As you can see the Class is been inherited from System.Web.HttpApplication. As we know that we can handle the Application level events with the help of Global.asax even from the traditional ASP.NET it works as the same. Lets have a quick brush-up regarding those events.

• Application_Start() – Triggers when the application starts for the first time
• Application_Init() – Triggers when the application initialize for the first time
• Application_BeginRequest() – Triggers each time a new request comes in
• Application_EndRequest() – Triggers when request ends
• Application_AuthenticateRequest() – Triggers when the request is to be authenticated
• Application_Error() – Triggers when an application level error occurs
• Application_End() – Triggers when the application times out or ended
• Session_Start() – Triggers when there a user session starts
• Session_End() – Triggers when the user’s session is ended
