Just had a doubt, so wanted the comments from experts. In the documentation it says "RMI Bootstrap Registry: Windchill Java clients use Java RMI to communicate with Windchill servers. To use RMI, a client must first obtain a reference to a remote object on which it can invoke methods"
According to this, RMI is required for Windchill. Hence Windchill can only work if RMI port is enabled. This limits the use of Windchill over internet where only http port is available and RMI port is generally blocked.
Please provide expert comments on the same.

Yes. With the RMI tunneling enabled, the web server will forward the RMI requests to RMI server. So only http/https ports needs to be open. In Windchill, JavaRMIServlet will do that RMI request forwarding.
