Add support for sudo su - using password auth (#2054) 
* Add support for `sudo su -` using password auth

Allow users to run Ansible tasks through `sudo su -` using password auth

- Feature Pull Request

sudosu

So I have been using this at various customers for bootstrapping Ansible mostly.

Often you have an existing setup where there is a user that has root-access enabled through sudo, but only to run `su` to log using the user's password.
In these specific cases the root password is unique to the system and therefore not an easy way to automate bootstrapping.

Having a `sudo su -` become option **with password prompt** is not possible with the existing become methods (neither sudo nor su can be used) by abusing `become_exe` or `become_flags`.

This fixes ansible/ansible#12686

README.md

Community General Collection

Build Status Codecov

This repo contains the community.general Ansible Collection. The collection includes many modules and plugins supported by Ansible community which are not part of more specialized community collections.

You can find documentation for this collection on the Ansible docs site.

Tested with Ansible

Tested with the current Ansible 2.9 and 2.10 releases and the current development version of Ansible. Ansible versions before 2.9.10 are not supported.

External requirements

Some modules and plugins require external libraries. Please check the requirements for each plugin or module you use in the documentation to find out which requirements are needed.

Included content

Please check the included content on the Ansible Galaxy page for this collection or the documentation on the Ansible docs site.

Using this collection

Before using the General community collection, you need to install the collection with the ansible-galaxy CLI:

ansible-galaxy collection install community.general

You can also include it in a requirements.yml file and install it via ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml using the format:

collections:
- name: community.general

See Ansible Using collections for more details.

Contributing to this collection

If you want to develop new content for this collection or improve what is already here, the easiest way to work on the collection is to clone it into one of the configured COLLECTIONS_PATH, and work on it there.

For example, if you are working in the ~/dev directory:

cd ~/dev
git clone git@github.com:ansible-collections/community.general.git collections/ansible_collections/community/general
export COLLECTIONS_PATH=$(pwd)/collections:$COLLECTIONS_PATH

You can find more information in the developer guide for collections, and in the Ansible Community Guide.

Running tests

See here.

Communication

We have a dedicated Working Group for Ansible development.

You can find other people interested on the following Freenode IRC channels -

  • #ansible - For general use questions and support.
  • #ansible-devel - For discussions on developer topics and code related to features or bugs.
  • #ansible-community - For discussions on community topics and community meetings.

For more information about communities, meetings and agendas see Community Wiki.

  2. Run antsibull-changelog release --collection-flatmap yes
  3. Make sure CHANGELOG.rst and changelogs/changelog.yaml are added to git, and the deleted fragments have been removed.
  4. Tag the commit with <version>. Push changes and tag to the main repository.

Release notes
