Unable to execute the sudo user command

[S Mullai Arasu]

Hi ,

I am new to the rundeck , I need support in configuring the rundeck server to execute the sudo commands.

OBJECTIVE:

To execute the system administrative commands using the sudo permission in the AWS EC2 instance since only ec2-user is allowed

STEPS I HAVE PERFORMED

=========================

I have followed below steps as defined in the Rundeck Documentation below link

Secondary Sudo Password Authentication

You can configure the way the Sudo Password Authentication works by setting these properties at the Node, Project or Rundeck scopes. Simply set the attribute name on a Node, the project.NAME in project.properties, or framework.NAME in framework.properties:

• sudo-command-enabled - set to "true" to enable Sudo Password Authentication.
• sudo-command-pattern - a regular expression to detect when a command execution should expect to require Sudo authentication. Default pattern is^sudo$

Below is my configuration in Project.properties file

=========================================================================

project.description=New project to Test the data 

project.name=Amazon-Dryrun

project.nodeCache.delay=30

project.nodeCache.enabled=true

project.ssh-authentication=privateKey

project.ssh-key-storage-path=keys/aws-XXXXX.pem

project.ssh.user=ec2-user

resources.source.1.config.runningOnly=false

resources.source.1.config.useDefaultMapping=false

sudo-command-pattern=^sudo$

Below is the job configuration file I am using to execute the job

      </command>

    </sequence>

    <uuid>cf3a0564-cf32-4d40-9799-5649350360ac</uuid>

  </job>

</joblist>

RESULTS

=========================

Below is the error I am getting while when I run the job

Starting SSH Connection: ec2-...@xxxxxxxxxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com (DEV-RUNDECK)

12:17:50	sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo

Hi , The sudo issue resolved after editing the below lines of the project.properties file w

sudo-command-enabled=true

sudo-command-pattern=^sudo$

with the below lines

project.sudo-command-enabled=true

project.sudo-command-pattern=^sudo$

Thanks
