RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
libreport can read the bugzilla and strata configuration from /etc/libreport/plugins/{bugzilla,rhtsupport}.conf or from environment variables. It would be useful if it would read user's configuration also from ~/.libreport/plugins/{bugzilla,rhtsupport}.conf

The priority of the configuration shall be environment -> user's home -> global.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libreport-2.0.9-15.el6_4.1.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create ~/.libreport/plugins/{bugzilla,rhtsupport}.conf with the correct configuration and leave the /etc/libreport/plugins/{bugzilla,rhtsupport}.conf configuration empty
2. try to report to BZ/strata using the report command

Actual results:
error: Empty RHTS login or password

Expected results:
report succeeds
