Re: [keycloak-dev] Require SSL option

Require SSL means that all interaction with Keycloak server is required to be HTTPS. All redirect URLs must also use the HTTPS protocol. Like you said, it also will set "secure" on any set Cookies, but that's only part of it. Other than renaming it to "Require HTTPS", i think the name is appropriate.
