Hi,

Find the steps provided below:

1) On the target host configure sudo with no password for the user in question e.g.

visudo

<username>  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

2) Configure the public a private keys as per usual using "ssh-keygen".

3) On the target server

agent_inst/sysman/config/emd.properties

# EMPDP_PASSWORD_PROMPT_SUDO=MAYBE

EMPDP_PASSWORD_PROMPT_SUDO=FALSE       # Add this line

(This is the key step here).

4) Restart the agent

5) Configure a global set of named credentials in the UI as per normal, but this time using the "Run Privilege" sudo and the user as oracle/root

6) Create a test file:

[oracle@apem16 ~]$ ls -l test

-rw------- 1 oracle oracle 33 Sep 10 00:58 test

[oracle@apem16 ~]$ cat test

This is an oracle read only file

6) Create a simple job using the named ssh key credentials to confirm your steps are correct.

Display the read only test file would be a good test:

cat /home/oracle/test  (Assumes your runas in step 5 was oracle).
