vSphere Replication sites that you have connected appear in the Not authenticated state.
Problem
In configurations with two vSphere Replication sites, where each includes a vCenter Server instance and a vSphere Replication appliance, the vSphere Replication sites appear in the Not authenticated state, after logging in the vSphere Web Client.
Cause
Sites that you have successfully connected appear in the Not authenticated state when you establish a new login session to the vSphere Web Client. The Not authenticated state reflects the connection to the remote site from the vSphere Web Client and not the state of the connection between the sites. If the two sites are running, vSphere Replication still performs replications at the schedules that you have configured. To restore the Connected state for the current vSphere Web Client session, you must provide the login credentials for the remote site.
