Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Kenny Tordeurs 2019-07-10 09:14:32 UTC 
Description of problem:
Currently Ansible always uses sudo become_method instead of using the specified 'Effective User Method' it does inherit other settings like 'ssh user' and 'ssh password' so one would expect it would also do this for the become_method.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.5

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Administer -> Settings -> Remote execution settings -> Effective User Method -> su
2. Run ansible playbook
3. Will default to sudo method

Actual results:
~~~
Jul 10 08:44:38 ktordeur-test-ansible sshd[24644]: Accepted password for local from 192.168.140.2 port 44284 ssh2

~~~

Expected results:
Use the su method

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/26850 has been resolved.

Comment 6 Patrick Creech 2019-10-07 17:48:39 UTC 
looking over the v3.0.7 tag in foreman_ansible, I do not see the attached fix.  It appears it did not make it into that release.
Comment 8 Lukas Pramuk 2020-02-04 13:54:15 UTC 
VERIFIED.

by the following manual reproducer:

1. Run Ansible Command job with following command:
ps -f $(ps -f $(ps -f $(ps -f $$ | awk 'NR>1{print $3}') | awk 'NR>1{print $3}') | awk 'NR>1{print $3}')

2. Check the output of the job
"stdout_lines": [
        "UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY      STAT   TIME CMD", 
        "root     23891 23876  1 13:09 pts/1    S+     0:00 sudo -H -S -p [sudo via ansible, key=bjewyccppqwazaqhkapkmopxvnrnrdea] password: -u test /bin/sh -c echo BECOME-SUCCESS-bjewyccppqwazaqhkapkmopxvnrnrdea ; /usr/bin/python /var/tmp/ansible-tmp-1580407876.01-46452950106097/AnsiballZ_command.py"
]

>>> by default "sudo" method is used

3. Change the method to "su" in the settings:
Administer -> Settings -> Remote execution settings -> Effective User Method -> su

4. Run Ansible Command job with the same command:
ps -f $(ps -f $(ps -f $(ps -f $$ | awk 'NR>1{print $3}') | awk 'NR>1{print $3}') | awk 'NR>1{print $3}')

5. Check the output of the job
"stdout_lines": [
        "UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY      STAT   TIME CMD", 
        "root     23579 23564  1 13:09 pts/1    S+     0:00 su test -c /bin/sh -c 'echo BECOME-SUCCESS-rkdzercgvekzoxetgbxnyqwajzsgmxih ; /usr/bin/python /var/tmp/ansible-tmp-1580407930.12-1211950403156/AnsiballZ_command.py'"

>>> "su" method is used as Ansible REX now inherits the setting from SSH REX
