How to fix NOAUTH Authentication required error in Django chat on sockets?

Question

Django

I ported a working chat application with sockets and Django from one system to another, installed dependencies, but to my surprise I got this traceback:

Traceback

Sockets are implemented in channels==2.4.0. The library for integration with Redisalso installed. On the frontend Socket.IO.
The project is similar to this project from github .
After trying some solutions from google came here. Very important: I have a deadline today .
