Run Jenkins with Super User Privilege on the server
Posted By : Rijul Jain | 03-Jun-2015
Hi,
Last week I came across a requirement where I had to deploy an application on the root (port:80) for which I was getting an "Authentication Failure issue" with the following error: "sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified" for which I did the following:
- Browse to the "sudoers" file, present in the /etc directory on your system.
- Open the sudoers file and add the following entry to the same:
%jenkins ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL - Save and exit from the file,and you're done!
Caution: This allows JENKINS to avoid the password prompt for all commands, which could
be unsafe. So please use this with caution.
