Dear all

I am trying to run an exportd with a simple script.  
I’ve followed all instructions however the exportd fails with the below message:

> You are not allowed to execute this script. Could not open .datagerry\_exec.json file.

I’ve included the .datagerry\_exec.json file including the script name as shown below:

> {  
> “allowed\_scripts”: [“onmsctl”]  
> }

This json is included in both of the below locations:

> /usr/bin/  
> /opt/onmsctl/

For the exportD script the following is defined as the script value:

> /usr/bin/onmsctl --url [https://onms.domain.priv/opennms](https://onms.domain.priv/opennms) --user username --passwd ‘password’ inv req add

In theory after the add the name of the respective value will be appended, which does not happen since I continuously get the communicated error.

The same command is run with both users root and datagerry, so there is no authorization issues on the users.

Is this a bug or I am not doing something correct?

Hallo @kbetsis,

if I see this correctly, the file extension is missing:

{  
{  
“allowed\_scripts”: { “onmsctl”.]  
}

Try something like this.  
{  
“allowed\_scripts”: [“onmsctl.sh”]  
}

Hi @sergej.dumler

I wish it was that, however, the script is run as is no extension needed.

Hello @kbetsis,

try this statement

/usr/bin/onmsctl/ --url [https://onms.domain.priv/opennms](https://onms.domain.priv/opennms) --user username --passwd ‘password’ inv req add

There must be a backslash at the end: ‘/usr/bin/onmsctl/’.
