I tried it again with my application after deleting existing cookies and
recreating the realm and indeed, it seems to use the underlying session.
I guess with all the long living cookies in my history something got
messed up. Configuring the session cookie name in web.xml does not work
as far as I can tell, but that's a different problem.

Keycloak should just be using the underlying http session and not do anything special to
it. Do you have the same problem with HTTP basic?
The demo I'm referring to is the one that is bundled with the download, it's in
examples/preconfigured-demo
