    Note: HSM only generate the encryption and the keys stored on the server.
    The question is can CA-PAM integrate with AEP Works..??

    For PAM to work with an HSM, it needs to have the appropriate HSM client installed & configured on the PAM appliance to talk to the HSM server for fetching keys etc. Given this is not available for AEP works and the fact that PAM is essentially a black box, this would not be feasible.
