Description

What's the reason for the Cookie renaming? There seems to be also an issue with it, the cookies are not correctly set and the session is lost in my case. When I commented it out, it is working.

Research direction

Start by locating the servlet's cookie-renaming logic and reproducing the reported session loss with renaming enabled, then compare it with the behavior when renaming is disabled. Done means the reason for renaming is established and cookies are set correctly so the session persists.
