[keycloak-dev] Access original session

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.
