Hello,

I had the same issue.

A restart of “VMware Secure Token Service” service did not resolve the issue.

A restart of « VMware vSphere Web Client » service did solve the issue.

I hope this helps someone else Smiley Wink

A restart of both “VMware Secure Token Service” and "VMware vSphere Web Client" was required by me to solve the issue.

You should connect to your vcenter server using ssh, and run :

service vsphere-client restart
