[Chinna-M]

Hi All,

I’m getting below error while sudo’ing to mqadmin id while logging into remote linux machine..
While running the on Redhat server I get this below error
"module_stdout": "\r\nSorry, user mqadmin is not allowed to execute '/bin/sh -c echo BECOME-SUCCESS-frnjqhjiraruzyzodxgpwceqylxjkvbi; /usr/bin/python /var/tmp/ansible-tmp-1531448966.94-199117643620200/setup.py' as mqm on server1.\r\n",

to retry, use: --limit @/etc/ansible/mq/mqver.retry

Pls help me to resolve this.

Thanks

This playbook isnt tested to work on RedHat and will probably not work as is, you'll need some manual work to adapt it (which requires some ansible knowledge, and georchestra knowledge).

The error you're seeing feels like misconfiguration of the remote machine, where for some reason your user isnt allowed to use sudo. This is probably a default to change on Red Hat, and not a bug in the playbook itself. Please retry with debian in its default configuration.

Hi Landryb,

Thanks a lot for the response.. in my case i only have to use redhat linux rhel6 and 7 as part of the project.

If issue with linux build , any idea what could be the parameter i need to change in liunx machine???
Could you please help me on this.
Thank you ..

• Also i can manually login and sudo to mqadmin id. Which works absolutely fine as expected. Only via ansible it’s failing with above error..

[landryb]

From what i understand of the error message, you're sshing as mqadmin, and sudoing to mqm. Which might not be what you expect... your should figure out the proper user configuration for ansible, as we don't know what you're trying to run and how.

If you have to use RedHat, sorry but you're on your own. The playbook is only tested on Debian.

Thanks lanndryb, actually.. I’m sshing using my own user id and then trying to sudo to mqm id..

Which is same as sudo su - mqm.

Is anything required in ssh settings on the linux machine??
