Cause
The /opt/rsa/am/server/downloads directory does not exist by default in RSA Authentication Manager 8.4.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, ymanually create the missing directory using the following commands then try downloading the node secret file again which will be successful this time.
  1. Launch an SSH client, such as PuTTY.
  2. Login to the primary Authentication Manager server as rsaadmin and enter the operating system password.

Note that during Quick Setup another user name may have been selected. Use that user name to login.

  1. Navigate to the server directory:
cd /opt/rsa/am/server
  1. Create the downloads directory:
mkdir downloads
  1. Download the node secret file from the Security Console.
