How to change the user after connecting to the jump host when using ProxyCommand

My normal flow is like:



ssh jumphost
sudo -iHu jump_user
ssh target_user@targethost
Do some task


How to do this using ProxyCommand? I have tried:



ssh target_user@target_host -o ProxyCommand="ssh jumphost 'sudo -iHu jump_user' nc -w 120 %h %p"


But it's asking password for target_user as user is not changing to jump_user on jump_host. How to do it? My final aim is to use this as ansible_ssh_common_args so I can run tasks on target server.

  • What version of OpenSSH are you using? And why do you need to change user on the jump host?

  • @Kusalananda, It's 7.4

  • @Kusalananda, I can't directly ssh to target_host with my user, I need to ssh to the jumphost first, that also I can't ssh with jump_user. But I can run sudo -iHu jump_user and after that only I can ssh into target_host. It's security related, and I don't know much about it.

  • Is jump_user not able to use ssh from the jumphost host?

    – Kusalananda

  • @Kusalananda No, that's where I'm also confused. I have to follow the above flow which asks no passwords. Can't ssh jump_user@targethost from jumphost or can't ssh jump_user@jump_host from myhost. Maybe some authorized_keys are setup.

Create a .ssh/config file on the jumphost with:



Host targethost
User target_user


Or whatever is appropriate for your setup. Other settings like keepalives, agent forwarding, multiplexing etc can also be configured here to make your life easier.



man ssh_config is the documentation you want to consult.

  • So, sudo -i gives you an interactive shell - that's not what you want here. Have you tried with something like ssh jumphost 'sudo -u jump_user "ssh target_user@targethost do-some-task"' ? Get that form working, and then adjust your .ssh/config/proxy command based on it.
