Do I have to enable port 443 for https

Vendor website sent an email regarding upcoming data center changes.  The email says " IT department will need to open port 443 to enable https to our new sites"

We use a fortigate 60d.  HTTPs seems to be already enabled for all sites, although I don't see any policy for this.    At this point I am not going to add this for our vendors new site.  

In any case, for my understanding Is there a place in the firewall where https is enabled for all by default?

Where is located your site? Inside your internal infrastructure, behind the fortigate? Or is in a datacenter outside your infrastructure?

Do you manage the host/machine where the website is located? If yes you must be sure that incoming connections for the website are allowed on port 443. If not, nothing to do.
