Does Spotlight VM connection require port 443?
Description

Spotlight Deployment Guide stated that port 443 is required only when Spotlight communicates to the cloud; however, with firewall blocking port 443 why does Spotlight throw the following VM connection error?
Cannot connect to VMware server : Unable to connect to the remote server :
"No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
10.36.101.71:443"
Resolution

While not stated in the Spotlight Deployment Guide, connecting to VCenter Server is from port 443.
