Question

PRA Shell Jump sudu/su and credential injection so that our admins can use sudo without needing to know their password.

In the ideas portal A10-I-249 someone suggested being able to re-inject credentials when running a sudo or su command. The idea was marked as already implemented. Is there any documentation on how to achieve this or can anyone provide steps to accomplish this without setting the sudoers file to passwordless?

Thank you, we were trying to avoid the no password scenario. That doc suggests modifying the sudoers file to allow “executed as root without requiring a password (NOPASSWD)”

@Howard i believe what he is asking is if the PRA works like “senhasegura” where we put “sudo su” and the software auto-inject the credentials password, the way its being implemented on the doc, is more about we disabling the password necessity for the injected account. 

Its more a internal solution, than a true auto-inject made from PRA. 

That ideia was always a big doubt on my mind and with your answer now its more clear to me, thanks!
