In keycloak-server.json set userSessionProvider to JPA:

 "userSessions": {
 "provider": "jpa"
 }

You also need to either disable realm and user caches:

 "realmCache": {
 "provider": "none"
 },

 "userCache": {
 "provider": "none"
 }

Or use Infinispan invalidation caches as the clustering documentation suggests.

Bear in mind that if you store user sessions in db and don't use the caches you'll be generating a fair bit of db traffic, so it won't scale extremely well.
