development / general questions about phpBB

[devgame]

Hey dev community,

after reading the user guide a few questions are still open to me.
I'm currently in the evaluation phase for a new internal community software.

A few things I'm still unsure about:

1. Is there a way to login / logout users from our own application (so we can set session to login / logout user) from our own application?
2. Does phpBB supports a caching driver to store sessions (f.e. redis)? Since we use a kubernetes cluster, a centralized session storage is required.
3. Does phpBB allows to disable external loading of ressources (user avatars / remote include of images inside threads)?
4. Is there a way to disable the login / logout functions of phpBB?
5. Is there a way to disable the change of user password / email for users?

Thanks for answering my questions, stay safe during covid19.
