We are using VCenter 6.5 Appliance on ESXi 6.5. VCenter defaults to the standard HTTPS Port number 443 for the web client. Is there any way to change the Port number VCenter uses? I have a web server behind the same router that uses 443 so it makes Port Forwarding to the proper machine impossible. I assume I will have to change the Port that the web server uses instead, but I was just wondering if it is possible to change the Port on VCenter?
Why do you want to change the vCenter Server's port in this case?
What you want to do is to configure port forwarding on the router to e.g. forward 443 to 443 on your web server, and another port to 443 on the vCenter Server.

Hi,
Deployment Configuration Parameters
To change the ports configured for the vSphere Client in the client configuration file:
VpxClient.exe.config
client configuration file with a text editor. By default, this file is located at C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\
<add key = "protocolports" value = "https:443;http:80:" />
<add key = "protocolports" value = "https:8081;http:8080" />
As an alternative to editing the vSphere Client configuration file, you can specify the HTTPS port on the login screen of the vSphere Client by entering <servername>:<https_port_number> in the IP address / Name text box.
Bets regards,

a.p. Doh! Thanks. Didn't think of that.
