I can't speak to the memcache plugin, but the two cookies set by the IdP
are _idp_session and _idp_authn_lc_key. The former contains the IP address
and that can't be changed.

The OP is welcome to file a RFE against the V3 project to ask that it be
encrypted, which is something we're likely to do anyway.
