Special kind of become

[Preben Asmussen]

Hi

I have started using Ansible resently and have a small problem. 

I have to ssh in as {someuser} and become {jvm} user to execute copy and http get task

My sites file looks like

---

# This playbook deploys  

- hosts: test-environments 

  remote_user: "{{user}}"

  become: yes

  become_user: jvm

  roles:

    - pte

the problem is that the build in become seems not to work on our linux target machine. (getting prompted for sudo password)

I guess ansible will perform a sudo su - jvm, but thats not allowed. 

I'm only allowed to execute 'sudo su -s /bin/bash - jvm' to become the jvm user

Any pointers on how that fits in with ansible ?

I'm a noob ansible user

Can't guarantee it, but... Could become_flags help?
(https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/become.html)

Not sure you can make it invoke "sudo su -s /bin/bash - jvm" exactly,
but worth a try.

Best regards
