I get the following error when connecting to SharePoint Online:
Error Message:
“The remote server returned
an error: (403) Forbidden. (System)”
Solution:
This error typically occurs either due to Microsoft’s retirement of legacy authentication methods (NTLM/Basic) or the retirement of the passive SAML authentication method, related to the legacy WS-Fed and wsignin1.0. SharePoint Online now requires Modern
Authentication (OAuth 2.0 / Microsoft Identity). This change affects
connections to SharePoint Online that previously worked with basic
credentials.
