Unable to authenticate with the Confluence server using sphinxcontrib.confluencebuilder

[Divyank Mahalle]

Hello, I'm trying to publish a sphinx project on a space "DOCS" and page "API Documentation" on confluence cloud, with the sphinxcontrib.confluencebuilder plugin for sphinx. I can log in with my credentials in the browser, but not via using the "make confluence" command with the same credentials. My account is not currently locked.

I am getting this error.

$make confluence
WARNING: normalizing confluence url from https://<......>.atlassian.net/wiki/ to https://<.......>.atlassian.net/wiki/
sphinxcontrib.confluencebuilder error:
---
Unable to authenticate with the Confluence server.

Ensure your username and password are correct. If your username and password is correct, you may need to unlock your Confluence account be re-logging in with your browser or asking your Confluence administrator for help.

API Token method is working now, did some spelling mistake in the confluence_server_url field.

API Token able method is working fine.
