Seems like my question wasn't clear enough.

I have the following config in my web.xml

     <security-constraint>
         <web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Protected</web-resource-name>
             <url-pattern>/protected/*</url-pattern>
         </web-resource-collection>
         <auth-constraint>
             <role-name>user</role-name>
         </auth-constraint>
     </security-constraint>

     <login-config>
         <auth-method>KEYCLOAK</auth-method>
         <realm-name>portfolio-webapp</realm-name>
     </login-config>

     <security-role>
         <role-name>user</role-name>
     </security-role>

Now when I navigate to e.g. "/protected/index.xhtml" I get redirected to
the Keycloak login. Unfortunately, the cookie which is set by the
Keycloak adapters after a succesful login, has the path "/protected"
set. When I navigate to "/whatever.xhtml" I obviously have no access to
the cookie since the browser doesn't send it.

How am I supposed to access the logged in user outside of the protected
area?

The session cookie (assuming you're talking about JSESSIONID) should be set
to the context-path of your WAR not a specific protected resource.

Unfortunately I am experiencing that it is set to a different path.

Strange. I've just tried with our demo, which has a similar security-constraint to yours, and it sets it to the context-path of the WAR as expected.

Keycloak doesn't set this cookie itself, that's sorted by the JEE container. Which Keycloak version and JEE server are you using?

Is your protected resources in the same WAR as the unprotected resources?

Yes, it's all in the same WAR.

Subject: [keycloak-dev] Access original session

Hello there!"

I have an application that has protected resources on the pattern
"/protected/*" and I receive a session cookie for the path "/protected",
which makes sense. Now my problem is, that I want the path of the cookie
to
be "/" so I can access the user information even outside of the protected
resources.
Since I think this might introduce some problems, the only other way to
realize that I could think of is, to get access to the underlying servlet
session. Not only would that session have to be created properly, which I
am
not sure is happening when browsing in the protected resources, I would
also
need to access it on the server, so that I can save the currently logged
in
user into it.

Is there a possibility to access the servlet session within the Keycloak
context? If so, could you please share some code or point me to an API?
