lcps_to_ccps.py doesn't handle AI passwords correctly

Hi @rwestbrock-24hf,
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

In the process of retrieving connection profiles from Control-M, it's important to note that all password definitions are concealed for security purposes.
Therefore, if you require the usage of passwords, it is advisable to replace the hidden passwords with actual ones or utilize the "Secrets" functionality, where the values are securely stored within Control-M/Enterprise Manager.

For further guidance on managing secrets and ensuring secure handling of sensitive information within your automation workflows, please refer to the following resources:

1. REST API Secrets - https://community.bmc.com/s/article/rest-api-secrets
2. Secrets in Code Documentation - https://docs.bmc.com/docs/automation-api/9021/secrets-in-code-1123726054.html

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

We are using secrets as I showed in the manually adjusted JSON. My intention was to refactor the script to have it set the Password element to use a secret with the same name as the connection profile. Unfortunately I had to back burner that and haven't worked on migrating connection profiles in three years now since my initial post; even with the refactor I have to use a script I wrote to read a flat file of the secrets (which I composed from our password vault) to use AAPI to create the secrets.
