[keycloak-user] Browser not maintaining session for keycloak users

Hmm... in your post, I see that cookies KEYCLOAK_IDENTITY and
KEYCLOAK_SESSION are not present in Keycloak 4.X. Those are the cookies,
which are important for the automatic SSO re-authentication.
Those cookies should be added by Keycloak after successful first
authentication. So at the moment, when you first authenticate and the
page "You may close this browser window and go back to your console
application.", the cookies should be there. BTV. Do you have Keycloak
behind some proxy/loadbalancer or are you accessing it directly? If
you're behind proxy/LB, could you try to access KEycloak host directly
without any proxy/LB involved in between?
