Unable to Access ESXi Web Login

Hi all

This morning no user is able to access the ESXi web login.  We are on version 6.7.  I can ping the server and can also login as root using SSH. Using latest Chrome but also tried Edge.  Help!  I have no access to my VMs.  Using Workstation Pro gives me a message "security error connecting to server". Thanks to any help.

Have you tried to restart the management services over ssh?

/etc/init.d/hostd restart

/etc/init.d/vpxa restart

Thank you leka85 for your reply.  After a few hours, access started again. I observed this last week as well but it didn't last too long. This time it was more so if you know, where would the refusal to connect be logged so I can try to find the cause?

Please check the logs from: /var/log/hostd.log and /var/log/vpxa.log
