Public Key Authentication over SSH and Sudo-ing Implementation

Hi,

We are currently implementing an Identity Management application which has several Unix systems as its target system. A pre-defined connector will be installed to provide connection between the Identity Management application and the Unix target system. The connection will use Public Key Authentication over SSH and the Unix target system will also implement Sudo-ing.

Currently, the connector for the identity management application does not support the use of both PKA and Sudo to connect to the target systems (UNIX); so we are restricted to using either PKA or Sudo only. I would like to understand if this restriction is a limitation of the identity management application's connector; or if it is a limitation based on the fact that requirement is technically not possible to implement.

Advice would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,
Tristan

Seems to be a restriction of your Identity Management App because in a plain Unix/Linux environment it is absolutely no problem to use PKA and sudo.
