@ahmmishkat the solution is described in this link : #834 (comment)

I encountered this 403 error, so just wanted to share what I was doing wrong, and what the solution was in case it helps:

Problem: I didn't copy and paste the CAUTH correctly - it turned out that I was only copying and pasting a slice of the CAUTH because it wasn't being fully displayed under the cookies section.

Solution: Double check that you are copying the entire CAUTH
