Create dynamic secret producer according to the documentation here.

Configuring Hashicorp Vault Proxy

1. Set akeyless-vault url in: VAULT_ADDR environment variable:

export VAULT_ADDR=https://hvp.akeyless.io

2. Now, you'll need to configure the authentication token that would be used by Vault CLI to fetch secrets from Akeyless Vault.
   Set your Akeyless token in ~/.vault-token
   Supported tokens:
   (a) Permanent token in the following structure: Access-ID+”..”+Access-Key, in example:

p-XXXXX..XXXXXXXXXXX

(b) Akeyless temporary API token read more here (this is the recommended and the more secure method). For token rotation please read more here.
