Cannot use RedisIndexedSessionRepository in service

For my spring-boot application (2.3.3.RELEASE, Java 11) I uses spring session, here is a standard dependencies for this:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-redis</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.session</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-session-data-redis</artifactId>
    </dependency>

The application works as expected, sessions stores in redis and managed by spring as well.

But I want to delete sessions by id from Redis manually. For this I noticed that spring has a bean for session repository in RedisHttpSessionConfiguration (line 119):

@Bean
public RedisIndexedSessionRepository sessionRepository() {

And I decided to reuse it. Unfortunately, when I try that in my service like:

@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class SessionService {
    private final RedisIndexedSessionRepository sessionRepository;

the following error appears while application starts:

Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.session.data.redis.RedisIndexedSessionRepository]: Circular reference involving containing bean 'org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.session.RedisSessionConfiguration$SpringBootRedisHttpSessionConfiguration' - consider declaring the factory method as static for independence from its containing instance. Factory method 'sessionRepository' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: RedisConnectionFactory is required

UPD. I found that if I add RedisIndexedSessionRepository to my service Spring somehow doesn't execute the code responsible for setting redisConnectionFactory in RedisHttpSessionConfiguration (autowired method setRedisConnectionFactory, line 204). But if I remove RedisIndexedSessionRepository from my service the above method are triggered. I also tried to create my own bean RedisConnectionFactory but it doesn't fix this.

Ahh, I found this comment in RedisHttpSessionConfiguration on top:

 * Exposes the {@link SessionRepositoryFilter} as a bean named
 * {@code springSessionRepositoryFilter}. In order to use this a single
 * {@link RedisConnectionFactory} must be exposed as a Bean.

but still don't understand how to use RedisIndexedSessionRepository in service.

Could someone advice how to handle that and how to use this repository in application?

It seems that RedisIndexedSessionRepository cannot be simply autowired and we have do that manually like:

private final RedisIndexedSessionRepository sessionRepository;

public SessionService(RedisTemplate<Object, Object> redisTemplate) {
    this.sessionRepository = new RedisIndexedSessionRepository(redisTemplate);
}
