Description

I would like some code examples as to how I would achieve the following.

I have a working Non Prod use case whereby all that is required is pub/priv key authentication.

For Prod, I need

(a) username/password authentication - which isn't an issue. Once logged in, 

(b) that user needs to run a "sudo su" to a permissioned account in order to continue. 

It is (b) that is proving tricky as I need to simulate user interaction (non interactively) to enter a password upon seeing a prompt. 

 

I'm aware there are interfaces / classes (UserInteraction, UserAuthKeyboardInteractive) that might be able to help with this but I would appreciate some code examples if possible. 

 

Thanks!
