[keycloak-dev] Application Clustering problems

[Stian Thorgersen]

I don't see the need for this mail. I was actually trying to help you. I
doubt you've even looked at what I've suggested though.

As Bill points out get your HTTP session replication working first. It has
nothing to do with Keycloak. If you want non-sticky sessions and not using
the stateless option then you need that working. The reason why I told you
to google it is that you do actually have to enable HTTP session
replication on a per-war basis. It's not just a container config. The
standalone-ha.xml config in WildFly should be fine by default, so you don't
need to do anything there.
