Hi,

443 must be enabled, that's it.

Session established?

Try this: netstat | grep ':https'

Connection possible with that?

curl -v telnet://appdefense.vmware.com:443

URL depends on the region.

The official documentation is testing the connection to SaaS Manager (output 200) and to the vCenter (output 302). My two commands was just to test the connection to the SaaS Manager - to see if HTTPS is possible or if the connection was refused for e.g. a firewall. But of course, there are more ways to do it.

Are you appliance connected now the Saas Manager?
