I'm using server-side storage for sessions, and the StoredTransientIdGenerator, which takes care of the first two deps. I'm not sure about the third use case? How does that use the data sealer key exactly? For now, I guess I need to keep it around just so the idp will run :). But do I need to rotate it for security purposes? Do I need to replicate it between cluster members?

IDP-942, thanks much.
