Packer ansible ubuntu vm in azure sudo password required error

[Rajinder Singh]

I am baking a Ubuntu 16.04 VM in Azure.

I tried this

 {

      "type": "ansible",

      "ansible_env_vars": [ "ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING=False", "ANSIBLE_SSH_ARGS='-o ForwardAgent=yes -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPersist=60s'", "ANSIBLE_NOCOLOR=True" ],

      "playbook_file": "./hardening_playbook.yml"

 }

and

 {

      "type": "ansible",

      "playbook_file": "./hardening_playbook.yml"

 }

ansible playbook has this:

#5.1.4.7 Set appropriate timeout for sudo.

    - name: sudo timeout

      lineinfile: dest=/etc/sudoers

                   regexp="^Defaults    env_reset"

                   line="Defaults    env_reset,timestamp_timeout=2"

                   state=present

It is failing with this error below

TASK [sudo timeout] ************************************************************

    azure-arm: fatal: [default]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "module_stderr": "sudo: a password is required\nShared connection to 127.0.0.1 closed.\r\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE", "rc": 1}

    azure-arm: to retry

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks

Hard to say with just fragments of your template etc. 

But verify that you have NOPASSWD set in /etc/sudoers.conf for the user connecting to the VM and that it don't require tty (requiretty). 

If those doesn't help you supply a full template and scripts/playbook.

You can use user_data to fix the /etc/sudoers file

like (may need adjustment)

sed -i -e 's/Defaults\\s*requiretty$/#Defaults\trequiretty/' /etc/sudoers sed -i -e '/# %wheel\tALL=(ALL)\tNOPASSWD: ALL/a %vagrant\tALL=(ALL)\tNOPASSWD: ALL' /etc/sudoers Alvaro.
