Is it possible to run jenkins job on a slave as a linux user?

[Kr1stom]

Hi

Is there any possibility to run jenkins job on a slave as a linux user? 

At the moment it is configured in our jenkins quite insecure. In jenkins master we have one default user which is used to launch slave agents on Unix machines: (username1) and there's a job what is running on a certain slave which does sudo su -username2 with a password before the actual activity. This causes password and username revealing in jobs console output.

My question is that is there any better way to change the username from which i could run the scripts on the slave after the master has activated the job?

Add a NOPASSWD directive to the relevant line in /etc/suoders, for example:

%sudo   ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

This means "all members of the sudo group can execute all commands without providing a password".

You would, of course, enable more restrictions. See "man sudoers" for details.

HTH...
