vSphere 7: unable to log into the VAMI page- “Invalid Credentials” or “Unable to Login”

Running the newest build of VCSA 7.0.1 from Dec. 17 2020, I could not login to the VAMI page:

https://<venterfqdn>:5480

It instantly wrote “Unable to Login”

After some digging around and rebooting, I found this article:

After updating vCSA to 6.7 U2 or higher, unable to log into the VAMI page- “Invalid Credentials” or “Unable to Login” (68149) (vmware.com)

Running all the commands and rebooted the VCSA, the applmgmt service started correctly, after the timeout was changed to 600 from 60!

After reboot, I could login as normal 🙂
