Prerequisites for using Linux and HP-UX sudo credentials

Provide one of the following:
- Username and password
- Username and SSH key file path (in PEM format)
For sudo users, add the user to the /etc/sudoers file. The following shows the privileges and specifications for users.
- User: Root
  
  Privilege: ALL=(ALL)
  
  Specification: ALL
- User: Sudo_user
  
  Privilege: ALL
  
  Specification: ALL
Edit the entry in the /etc/sudoers file so the system asks for the sudo user password instead of root user password when you run the sudo command.
The following shows the privileges to comment or remove from /etc/sudoers.
- User: All
  
  Privilege: ALL
  
  Specification: ALL
WARNING! Only use this option with Defaults targetpw.
To use super user functionality, configure the user as a super user with all root privileges. You can also use non-root user with a root user to update components.
When using SSH keys for login credentials combined with sudo, edit the entry in the /etc/sudoers file so that the system does not ask for the user password as follows:
- User: sudo_user
  
  Privilege: ALL
  
  Specification: NOPASSWD:ALL
