Unable to open Vcenter

Getting 403 error in web browser when trying to open Vcenter. Any ideas what causes this error? I have tried different browsers and different computers and still get error

Hello,

Check and Confirm the following :

1) All the required services are up and running by running the following command :

VCSA : service-control --status --all

Windows :

Browse to the vCenter Installation path : cd C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\bin

Run the command : service-control --status --all

2) 403 Forbidden error is while accessing the vCenter UI or is it after you enter the user credentials ?

3) Restart the vCenter Services and then check the behavior.

service-control --stop --all
service-control --start --all

Please check the service health status by running the below command,

service-control --status --all

I have a couple of questions here,

1. Is this a freshly installed VC or it was all working well and suddenly started hitting this issue?

2. When are you hitting this issue while opening VC WebClient or while redirecting to SSO?

As suggested by @Ank_S  you should try restarting the services and check
