      When user has org and/or activation key set in the C2R config file and calls the convert2rhel with --password and --username on command line then it fails exits with CRITICAL error:

      WARNING - Passing the RHSM password or activation key through the --activationkey or --password options is insecure as it leaks the values through the list of running processes. We recommend using the safer --config-file option instead.
      WARNING - You have passed the RHSM username through both the command line and the configuration file. We're going to use the command line values.
      WARNING - You have passed either the RHSM password or activation key through both the command line and the configuration file. We're going to use the command line values.
      CRITICAL - Either the --org or the --activationkey option is missing. You can't use one without the other.
