What is the cause of a 403 error when connecting to a Microsoft List on C#?
A 403 error typically indicates a "Forbidden" status code, suggesting that the server understood the request, but it refuses to authorize it. This could be due to various reasons such as Ensure NSFAS insufficient permissions, authentication issues, or server-side restrictions. Double-check your credentials and permissions to ensure proper access, and review any server-side configurations that might be restricting access to the Microsoft List.
- I use the proper Username and Password which are variables in the classes I use. A manager theorized that the error was because I was outside the "ecosystem" and accessing a Microsoft List that resides on another machine. As a test, I would like to remote to the other machine and from there download Microsoft Studio Community edition and have a go at this from there. This will tell me if I am right or not.
Currently knowing how to do all that is outside my proverbial wheelhouse and I require instruction as to how I can accomplish this. Can you please tell me how I can do this or directly me to an instruction? - I am able to open a browser window, navigate to the location of the URL where the List resides and after logging in with the Username and Password, I am able to view the List. Shouldn't that be enough credential verification to access the list using a program?
jhonsmertin841 Hey you are right thanks for sharing this Problem info with us.
A 403 error typically indicates a forbidden access issue. It could be due to insufficient permissions or authentication problems when connecting to the Microsoft List in C#. Double-check your credentials and ensure you have proper authorization to access the Lotus365 list. Also, review any firewall or security settings that might be blocking the connection. Hope this helps.
A 403 error when connecting to a Microsoft List in C# typically indicates a permissions issue. Ensure that your application has the correct Wind permissions and that the user has access to the list. Verify that your authentication tokens or credentials are valid and properly configured. Check the API or resource permissions in Azure AD or SharePoint settings.
