Authentication Issue

I am getting error when i am trying to connect to an ESXi Host via vSphere Client.
"Unable to connect the ESXi Host. You dont have permission to login into the host"

Other host in the same cluster i am able to connect.

ESXi Host lockdown mode is in disabled state. I restarted the host. I re-added the host to the domain. But still same error is coming. NFC port is also open.

I also have permission to access the host.

I am not sure why i am facing this issue. !!!

Have you tried removing and re-adding the host into your vCenter cluster?

Can you get in as root?
