Open Stack

One option would be to use a secret management service like Barbican[1] to store those credentials/secrets and use it whenever you want to make a SOAP API call. 

There's also Barbican resources available in the contrib section of the Heat repository which could also possibly be used and referenced to your custom resource's properties.

The first thing you may want to check is the Cinder API.  If I'm
understanding this correctly, Heat only interact with other OpenStack
services via their APIs.  It is not supposed to peek into their
internals.
