We currently have a site to site vpn configured to connect to our azure environment directly from our corporate LAN via vCenter. When accessing the portal (portal.azure.com) from a computer that is connected to the corporate LAN we are unable to view the virtual machine inventory and other information within the azure portal. But when connecting to the portal from outside of our LAN the portal displays this information as expected. Does this have something to do with our site to site configuration or is there something else that may be the issue. Thank you in advance for any feedback.
I have attached a screenshot of the f12 output that displays the error. The listed domain is included within our access control rules for allowed destinations. The second attachment is the f12 output for when the connection is working as expected (Not connected to LAN).

If you’ve already added the role assignment and are still experiencing the issue, I recommend continuing this conversation via private message for further troubleshooting.
