ODM native support for password vault integration (ex. CyberArk)

Currently, ODM requires passwords to either be hardcoded or injected on deployment. This has resulted in some custom code on our side because we aren't able to have ODM make a call to CyberArk using an Alias to retrieve the service account/passwor...
