Set the timeout used by the Edge UI for Edge API management calls

Edge for Private Cloud v4.18.05

By default, a session in the Edge UI expires one day after login. That means Edge UI users have to log in again after the session expires.

You can configure the session timeout be setting the conf_application_session.maxage property in the /opt/apigee/customer/application/ui.properties file.

To set this property:

Open the ui.properties file in an editor. If the file does not exist, create it:
```
vi /opt/apigee/customer/application/ui.properties
```
Set conf_application_session.maxage as a time value and time unit. Time units can be:
- m, minute, minutes
- h, hour, hours
- d, day, days
  For example, set conf_application_session.maxage as:
```
conf_application_session.maxage="2d"
```
Save your changes.

Restart the Edge UI:

/opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service edge-ui restart
