Description Adam Ruzicka 2022-02-08 13:53:26 UTC

Description of problem:
This is a spiritual successor of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2048560 with emphasis on using a password

If I'm reading things right this never worked, in contrast to BZ #204860 which worked in the past.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Any

How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a host to allow ssh connection as an uprivileged user
2. Set up the host to allow the user to become root using sudo with password
3. Run a job against that host

Actual results:
Until BZ #2048560 is fixed, the job will run as connection user.
After BZ #2048560 is fixed, I assume the job would fail, but it might just hang indefinitely.

Expected results:
The job runs as effective user

Upon review of our valid but aging backlog the Satellite Team has concluded that this Bugzilla does not meet the criteria for a resolution in the near term, and are planning to close in a month. This message may be a repeat of a previous update and the bug is again being considered to be closed. If you have any concerns about this, please contact your Red Hat Account team.  Thank you.

Thank you for your interest in Red Hat Satellite. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this feel free to contact your Red Hat Account Team. Thank you.

Based upon feedback during auto-closure, leaving this bugzilla open a while longer for additional investigation; however, it may be closed in a future iteration.
