[Quick TIP - VCF 9.0] - Operation not allowed by the credentials remediate in progress

Issue

I am in the situation where I have to change some settings to the current VCF 9.0.2.0 backup configuration ..... and the "EDIT" button is grayed out and I get the following message:

This operation is not allowed because the system lock is held by the Credentials remediate operation operation in progress.

Solution

Connect to the SDDC Manager

Go to ... Security > Password Management > Cancel (1) and confirm by pressing YES (2)

Switch back to the VCF Operations UI and the buttons are clickable again.

That's it.
