Currently we explain where convert2rhel expects a configuration file in the /etc/convert2rhel.ini configuration file:
# cat /etc/convert2rhel.ini # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- # This file should be in mode 0600 # Example of configuration file convert2rhel.ini for secrets. # Possible locations of this file: # 1) user specified and passed by -c, --config-file option; highest priority # 2) ~/.convert2rhel.ini; lower priority # 3) /etc/convert2rhel.ini; the lowest priority [subscription_manager] # password = <insert_password> # activation_key = <insert_activation_key>
The man/help page is not descriptive enough about that:
-c CONFIG_FILE, --config-file=CONFIG_FILE
A configuration file to safely provide either a user
password or an activation key for registering the
system through subscription-manager. Alternatively,
passing these values through the --activationkey or
--password option would leak them through a list of
running processes. Example of this file in
/etc/convert2rhel.ini
The new message:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DwLWhRJggr989HTkhQlOxOD_UVLbkNQ2dkg1ZavN9fc/edit#
Acceptance criteria:
- the man/help page (the source code for both is the same) mentions under the "--config-file" option what paths convert2rhel looks at to find a configuration file as well as that using this option overrides looking at these default paths.
