@MarijeSchillern - I do not have much to add.
In general, (internet search) a 403 Forbidden Error occurs when you do not have permission to access a web page or something else on a web server. It's usually a problem with the website itself. The HTTP 403 Forbidden response status code indicates that the server understands the request but refuses to authorize it.
Check your authentication configuration, including the client registration.

The issue is resolved by updating the "URL" of the WebEmbed channel with the pega cloud url for my pega cloud instance.
However, I am facing a different issue for my VM instance now.
Use case#1: Pega Academy instance is being used in VM [VMWare Workstation Pro]
1. Pega excercise system is installed.
2. MDC Application is imported.
3. With the Pega instance which is running within VM, - existing "Partner Registration" and "Vendor Resgistration" Web Embed channel is used to generate Mash up code for these 2 channels.
4. Web Embed codes are pasted with in the /opt/tomcat/webapps/PASample/case1.html or case2.html
5. No User portal is getting displayed on the Mash up portal for either of the Web Embed channel. Error is throwing - 401. unable to authenticate "https://localhost.pegalit.net/prweb/"
Use case#2: Pega Academy instance is being used in VM [VMWare Workstation Pro] + Pega Cloud Instance is used
1. With the Pega instance which is running in Pega Cloud [my Pega cloud instance for Pega Academy], - existing "Partner Registration" and "Vendor Resgistration" Web Embed channel is used to generate Mash up code for these 2 channels.
2. Web Embed codes are pasted with in the /opt/tomcat/webapps/PASample/case1.html or case2.html

Should I raise new query for this issue in the community?
