I want to be able to log in once a day for CSAT Pro. How can I extend the login session duration?

In this example, an 8 hour work day will be used as the session duration. Please see the steps below:

Navigate to C:\\Program Files\CSAT_Pro\conf
Open csat-config.yml
Find the server: array line
```
server:
    port: 443
    ssl:
	{various ssl settings here}
```
To change the auto logout/timeout setting, add the following to the server section of the config file:
```
servlet:
        session:
            timeout: number_of_seconds
```
Replace the number_of_seconds with your desired logout time. So, if you want to set it to 8 hours, the server section in your updated file will look something like:
```
server:
    port: 443
    ssl:
	{various ssl settings here}
    servlet:
        session:
            timeout: 28800
```
After updating the config file, restart your csat service for the changes to take effect.

Because yaml files can be sensitive to spacing, please be sure to avoid using the tab key (use the space bar instead) when adding the lines.
