Re: [keycloak-user] Cross-DC Replication not working for `sessions` cache

Hello Sebastian and Marek, Thank you very much for suggestions. We had confirmed replication across the ISPN clusters was working with the CLI, so we tried attaching the remote debugger but didn't find anything useful to tell us why Keycloak couldn't remotely store the sessions in the ISPN cluster.

Based on what Marek described, we decided to downgrade our ISPN cluster to 8.2.8 rather than use 9.3.1 and incorporate the demo code. It was our understanding that demo code would provide an SPI that enabled the ISPN cluster for persistent user storage (but not realms, clients, keys) which is not desirable for us as of now.

Downgrading to 8.2.8 (had to create our own image https://github.com/brix4dayz/infinispan/tree/8.2.x) fixed our sessions replication issue, the only thing is KUBE_PING/DNS_PING isn't available with the JGroups version that comes with 8.2.8. Based on what I'm seeing from this PR https://github.com/jboss-dockerfiles/keycloak/pull/96/files its possible to add a newer version of JGroups to Keycloak so I'll attempt to do that for ISPN so we can have local clustering for ISPN and Keycloak in OpenShift.

If there's a better way to go about the JGroups version issue let us know. Thanks again!
