modifying the authentication to prompt for credentials allowed me to get past the 'Forbidden' error...

 

return ac.AcquireTokenAsync(resourceUriPowerBi, clientId, new Uri(RedirectURL), new PlatformParameters(PromptBehavior.Auto)).Result.AccessToken;

    Thanks for your kind reply,

     

    I don't see forbidden error anymore. However, we have WebAPI's returning token and we don’t want to get the popup at all.

    When I set the prompt behavior to "NEVER" I get below error:

     

    "user_interaction_required: One of two conditions was encountered: 1. The PromptBehavior.Never flag was passed, but the constraint could not be honored, because user interaction was required. 2. An error occurred during a silent web authentication that prevented the http authentication flow from completing in a short enough time frame"

     

    And when I tried Directly specifying the username and password, it never returns any result.

     

     var authenticationResult = authenticationContext.AcquireTokenAsync(resourceUri, clientID, credential).Result;

     

    this throws an error ""AADSTS75005: The request is not a valid SAML 2.0 protocol message."

     

    I look forward for your reply,

    Thanks for your support.
