## require_resource
By default, all of the resources from a listed dependency are available
for use in your profile. If two of your dependencies provide a resource with
the same name, you can use the `require_resource` DSL function to
disambiguate the two:
require_resource(profile: 'my_dep', resource: 'my_res',
as: 'my_res2')
This will allow you to reference the resource `my_res` from the
profile `my_dep` using the name `my_res2`.
# Profile Attributes
Attributes may be used in profiles to define secrets, such as user names and passwords, that should not otherwise be stored in plain-text in a cookbook. First specify a variable in the control for each secret, then add the secret to a Yaml file located on the local machine, and then run `inspec exec` and specify the path to that Yaml file using the `--attrs` attribute.
