How to programmatically get the custom https port of vcenter server. This port is needed for authetication to vcenter using web service url

Hello

My windows server has a vcenter server installation that does not use default https port (443). The https port is customized to 1443. So I believe I will need to specify 1443 as port in my service url when I need to retrieve my service content.

ManagedObjectReference serviceInstance = new ManagedObjectReference();

serviceInstance.setType("ServiceInstance");

serviceInstance.setValue("ServiceInstance");

serviceUrl = "https://"+vCenterServerAddress+":"+"1443"+"/sdk/vimService";

Map<String, Object> reqContext = ((BindingProvider) _vimPort).getRequestContext();

reqContext.put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, serviceUrl);

reqContext.put(BindingProvider.SESSION_MAINTAIN_PROPERTY, true);

serviceContent = _vimPort.retrieveServiceContent(serviceInstance);

_vimPort.login(serviceContent.getSessionManager(), <user id>, <password>, null);

When I check the registry this port maps to the HttpsProxyPort. Is that the correct key which stores the web service port for a vcenter server.

Is there a way I can programatically get that web service port? I believe cannot use the vsphere api to get that port as the port is needed much before that to construct the service url

Thanks
