Why "sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified" occured even I'm running ambari with root user ?

I am running ambari-server with root user.

When I was enabling kerberos."sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified" just occured on step 7 "Kerberize Cluster-Configure Ambari Identity".

Do I have to visudo as non-root user ? I really puzzled.

Please help me figure that out.

This is my ambari-audit.log

Are you really sure Ambari is running as root. Try doing a ps to be sure:

# ps -ef | grep AmbariServer
root      3927 13603  0 18:15 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto AmbariServer
root     28360     1  2 16:05 pts/0    00:03:22 /usr/jdk64/jdk1.8.0_77/bin/java -server -XX:NewRatio=3 -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=60 -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -Dsun.zip.disableMemoryMapping=true -Xms512m -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Djava.security.auth.login.config=/etc/ambari-server/conf/krb5JAASLogin.conf -Djava.security.krb5.conf=/etc/krb5.conf -Djavax.security.auth.useSubjectCredsOnly=false -Xms512m -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Djava.security.auth.login.config=/etc/ambari-server/conf/krb5JAASLogin.conf -Djava.security.krb5.conf=/etc/krb5.conf -Djavax.security.auth.useSubjectCredsOnly=false -cp /etc/ambari-server/conf:/usr/lib/ambari-server/*:/usr/share/java/postgresql-jdbc.jar org.apache.ambari.server.controller.AmbariServer

If Ambari is running as root, does root have a uid and gid of 0?

# id root
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

That's Cool ! Indeed The ambari-server was not running under root user but under the user I don't even know. I run the ambari-server setup again.And It works now ! Thank you !
