exe file Permissions when running

[mattlc1989]

apologies if I am doing this wrong but when I try to login using the updated exe file I get a permission error.

I have replaced the original exe file from tabcmd with the new one from here

this is the error script

PermissionError at line 15 of C:\Users\MOCALL~1\AppData\Local\Temp\2_MEI243722\tabcmd.py: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau Server\2021.4\extras\Command Line Utility\tabcmd.log'

I have tried the pip method also ran the pip install fine but them where will the tabcmd.py file be just get 401001: Signin Error Error signing in to Tableau Server any way I try this

obviously I'm missing something , I am using server 2021.4

The new exe doesn't need to be in the same place as the old one: if you just put it on the Desktop or somewhere you normally work, does that fix it? Could you try adding --logging-level=debug to the command when you login, and copy the output here?

[mattlc1989]

yes i have tried just running in a folder this is what i get

C:\Users\mocallaghan\Downloads>tabcmd login -s https://prod-uk-a.online.tableau.com -u ########-p ########-logging-level=debug INFO: Creating new session INFO: ===== Server: https://prod-uk-a.online.tableau.com INFO: ===== Username: [email protected] INFO: Tableau Server Site: INFO: Connecting to the server... INFO:

    401001: Signin Error

Hi, sorry for the wait! I just realised that you have not listed a site in the last comment, which is why your login failed. Do you know the name of your site?

[mattlc1989]

I'm sorry I didn't help more - I don't really have any idea what's causing this. If you are still having trouble, I would try saving your password in a file and using the argument --password-file when you log in.

closing as stale.
