Your provider can read arbitrary files on the agent it is running on.
This is what other providers also do, see the nexus3_rest module on
Puppet Forge for an example. It needs credentials to be able to manage
resources on a Nexus3 repository server, which it expects to be stored
somewhere in /etc/puppet.
So essentially, in the class that uses your provider, create such a
credential/configuration file before using any resources your provider
provides.
