Thanks for the reply - this was very helpful. A couple more questions:

1. Is there any way to login with MFA? Our wiki requires either
choosing a number from an authenticator app or using a userid and
password and then entering a code which was texted.

2. Is there a way to get all pages within a category?

Thanks!
Larry
