[keycloak-user] Keycloak and OAuth 2.0 Resource Owner Password Credentials Grant

Hey guys,

I just looked at the login mechanism and the communication between the
admin console and the backend in the alpha 2 release again. If I'm not
mistaken, you used to use HTTP-only for the KEYCLOAK_SAAS_IDENTITY cookie.
Did something change about that in alpha 2? When I look at the HTTP
requests in the chrome developer console, I don't see the HttpOnly flag
anywhere.

Cheers,
Nils
