Manage Connect Direct password via cyber ark Merged

There a requirement from the GIS team that all Connect Direct password be managed via CyberArk. Currently Connect Direct and File agent password need to be manually captured on the application and we would like to automate this process via Cyber Ark. The ask is that there is a way to tunnel the password to Connect Direct or File Agent via Cyber Ark
