OVF Export Error (Unauthorized)

[ANSD ANSD]

Hello everyone,

I'm encountering a critical error when attempting to export or deploy OVF/OVA templates via my vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA). I would greatly appreciate any assistance in diagnosing the root cause.

The OVF export operation consistently fails with the following error message:

"OVF export failed. Cause: A general system error occurred: Provider method implementation threw unexpected exception: com.vmware.vapi.std.errors.Unauthorized: Unauthorized (com.vmware.vapi.std.errors.unauthorized) => { messages = [LocalizableMessage (com.vmware.vapi.std.localizable_message) => { id = vapi.security.authorization.invalid, defaultMessage = Unable to authorize user, args = [], params = <null>, localized = <null> }], data = <null>, errorType = UNAUTHORIZED }"

I want to emphasize that the operation is being performed by an Administrator account that possesses full vSphere privileges and has successfully completed many OVF backup and restoration tasks in the past. This error is new and recent

Thank you for your valuable insights.

Just checking,  have you tried performing the operation using default admin account [e-mail] ? Is it working?
