Good morning everyone
can the PAM act as a proxy for a connection between a user and a Siemens PLC?

Hello, Matteo, and welcome to the Community.
As of right now, Siemens PLC is not a supported Platform in NPS. However, if the PLC can be managed or accessed via a browser portal, NPS could be used to govern access to the portal by creating a Website resource. Additionally, if SSH is enabled for the device, it could probably be added to NPS as a generic Linux resource to allow SSH connections through the proxy - note that we would not be able to offer full host scans and account management.
I hope that helps!

Perfect, thank you
Do you plan to implement this possibility in the future?
We have been considering platform support for Operational Technology platforms like Siemens, but nothing is explicitly roadmapped.
One adjacent thing we are working on in 2025 is a “platform builder” for NPS that will greatly streamline new platform support in NPS by creating a UI for platform-specific workflows. This will streamline our ability to support new platforms (like Siemens devices) and also allow platform support to be worked on as Services engagements (or by power users).

Thank you,
I will wait for the implementation of the platform
Thanks
