I am trying to allow all users in the admin group to run a jar
file as SUDO without a password, I have edited the sudoers file (using visudo) and tried a number of commands but it still prompts me for a password every time
Contents of /etc/sudoers
:
# /etc/sudoers
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
#
Defaults env_reset
# Host alias specification
# User alias specification
# Cmnd alias specification
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
# (Note that later entries override this, so you might need to move
# it further down)
%sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL
#
#includedir /etc/sudoers.d
# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /opt/myapp/
admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /opt/myapp/myapp.jar
admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: java -jar /opt/myapp/myapp.jar
Sudoers file rules have to be setup correctly. If a group is configured in sudoers file then we must check that Authentication Services (QAS) knows the user is a member of that group.
— visudo . This tool opens the sudoers file in the default text editor. Additionally, visudo prevents concurrent editing and performs error-checking before exiting. In Ubuntu 20.04, the default editor is vim , but you can set an alternative editor, such as nano , if you prefer.
Try:
%admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/java -jar /opt/myapp/myapp.jar
