We have configured our windchill to use port 8080 as 80 port is not available in RHEL server. could you please advise if there is a way to hide the 8080 port in our URL. we basically do not want the port number to be visible to anyone who access the windchill.

Dropping the port would have the browser assume its port 80 for HTTP or 443 for HTTPS. Is port 80 not available because its in use by something else or is there some other reason? Using HTTPS (which I highly recommend) would open up 443. Is that in use? If none of those are options, I recommend a reverse proxy. On another host, setup Apache as a reverse proxy. Users would connect there and all traffic would be redirected in the background to the real host and port of you choosing.
Or is it not available because the firewall is not configured? You need to do some commands to make ports 80 and 443 available using the firewall-cmd command.
