I have another unique use case I'm trying to work through with Ansible that 
I just can't seem to get working.

I've got a play that configures a service on a system which depends on a 
change being made to another server (ie: log in to machine A to configure 
service, log in to machine B to allow machine A to connect to it, then log 
back into machine A to activate the service). Further, the credentials used 
to (a) authenticate to the two machines and (b) to escalate / become / sudo 
for those users are different between the two machines.

So I'm looking for a way to do something like this:

1. connect to machine A using user A (ie: without a pasword, using SSH 
authorized keys)
2. escalate (ie: sudo / become) on machine A to set up a new service
3. connect to machine B using user B using the password for user B
4. escalate (ie: sudo / become) on machine B  (NOTE: The sudo password for 
user A != sudo password for user B)
5. change permissions on machine B so machine A can access resources on 
this system
6. reconnect to machine A as user A and launch service (which, in turn, 
needs access to resources on machine B)

For the life of me I can't seem to find a good way to swizzle the 
credentials and SSH parameters for users between hosts in a single play 
like this. Any advice / suggestions anyone has to accomplish this task 
would be appreciated.
