    Hi again @vidhi.c.jain! You’re not given an client secret for this course. 
    Notebook 1 shows different methods of authenticating and states that to use client secret “Make Sure, You've created an environment variable CLIENT_SECRET with the value of the client secret obtained from admin”

    So basically the code is there to show it’s down if you wanted to authenticate using a client secret, but it not asking you to do it. Going forward with notebook 2 it is not needed. 

    I hope that answered you question and that you have a smooth experience with the rest of the course.

    I agree with @Carin Meems! I think @vidhi.c.jain  you need to check the clock on your computer, maybe it is just off with 1 minute?

    I found a lot of similar issues on the internet (for example here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/issues/20388)
    where one person says: 
     

    For the record, I was also facing this issue, even after synchronizing my machine's time. Only after an additional reboot the problem went away.

     

    Could you try that @vidhi.c.jain ?
