If we request escalation with a password, we start in expecting_prompt
state. If the escalation then succeeds without the password, i.e., the
become_success response arrives, we must explicitly move into the next
state (awaiting_escalation, which immediately goes into ready_to_send),
so that we no longer try to apply the timeout.
Otherwise, we would leak the success notification and eventually
timeout. But if the module response did arrive before the timeout
expired, the "process has already exited" test would do the right
thing by accident (which is why it didn't fail more often).
Fixes#13289
It was set to match the SSH connect timeout. Unfortunately, they would
race when ssh fails to connect, and the connect timeout usually failed.
This led to some misleading error messages.
Fixes#12916
I PR'd a change to pywinrm to allow server certs to be ignored; but it's only on the SSL transport (which we were previously ignoring). For this to work more generally, we're also now pulling the named ansible_winrm_* args from the merged set of host/group vars, not just host_vars.
also remove condition to bypass setting user if user matches current user
this enables forcing user when set to the same user as current user and ignoring .ssh/config
while keeping .ssh/config with current user if nothing is specified.
When using 'local' connections, privilege escalation would fail if
ansible_ssh_user was in the current context to the same value as
become_user.
This commit ensures that for 'local' connections we reset remote_user to
the local username.
This fixes#12782.
This is because we pass the whole dd command string into the shell
that's running on the contained environment rather than running it
directly from python via subprocess without a shell.
The earlier code behaved exactly as though this default had been set,
but it was actually handled as a(n unnecessary) special case inside the
connection plugin, rather than set as an explicit default.
If the default is overriden either in ansible.cfg or the environment,
the new code will continue to work (in fact, it won't know or care,
since it just uses the value set in the PlayContext).
This is submitted as a separate commit for easier review to address
backwards-compatibility concerns.
Using set_host_overrides() in the connection plugin to access the ssh
argument variables from the inventory didn't see group_vars/host_vars
settings, as noted earlier. Instead, we can set the correct values in
the PlayContext, which has access to all command-line options, task
settings, and variables.
The only downside of doing so is that the source of the settings is no
longer available in ssh.py, and therefore can't be logged. But the code
is simpler, and it actually works.
This change was suggested by @jimi-c in response to the FIXME in the
earlier commit.
Now we have the following ways to set additional arguments:
1. [ssh_connection]ssh_args in ansible.cfg: global setting, prepended to
every command line for ssh/scp/sftp. Overrides default ControlPersist
settings.
2. ansible_ssh_common_args inventory variable. Appended to every command
line for ssh/scp/sftp. Used in addition to ssh_args, if set above, or
the default settings.
3. ansible_{sftp,scp,ssh}_extra_args inventory variables. Appended to
every command line for the relevant binary only. Used in addition to
#1 and #2, if set above, or the default settings.
3. Using the --ssh-common-args or --{sftp,scp,ssh}-extra-args command
line options (which are overriden by #2 and #3 above).
This preserves backwards compatibility (for ssh_args in ansible.cfg),
but also permits global settings (e.g. ProxyCommand via _common_args) or
ssh-specific options (e.g. -R via ssh_extra_args).
Fixes#12576
* Remove extraneous imports
* Fix some error handling
* Enable pipelining
* Disable su since it doesn't work
* Add error message when installed docker is not recent enough to
support this plugin
* Move nested functions to class level
* Make transport a class attribute
* Make exec_command, put_file and fetch_file more robust
* Disable su as it's not currently working 100% (and was disabled in v1).
* Move BUFSIZE out of the class to match other conenction plugins
* _connect shouldn't return self.
This is also peripheral to what _build_command needs, can be improved
and tested independently, and so makes more sense in a separate method.
This commit doesn't change any functionality (and I've verified that it
works with the various combinations: control_path set in ansible.cfg,
ssh_args adding or not adding ControlMaster/ControlPersist, etc.).
Also get pipelining working for people who look to chroot as an example
for their own connection plugins
Note: In the latest v2 API, action handles become but chroot doesn't
reliably handle become. Maybe we need to add a has_become attribute
that the action can display an appropriate error.
