Issue
When checking the log file, you will find the following error stack:
17751 2019-08-20 20:52:01,142 INFO: Generating operations console key pair
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: You have loaded library /opt/rsa/am/utils/lib/linux-x86_64/libsystemtools.so
which might have disabled stack guard. The VM will try to fix the stack guard now.
It's highly recommended that you fix the library with 'execstack -c <libfile>', or link it with '-z noexecstack'.

Check the ESXi using the vSphere Web Client by going into Edit Settings > VM Options > Boot Options. You will find that the Firmware Type is set to UEFI / EFI.
Cause
Resolution
From ESXi, try the following:
- Delete the Virtual Machine that is showing this issue.
- Create a new Virtual Machine by importing a new Authentication Manager 8.4 OVA.
- Navigate to Edit Settings > VM Options > Boot Options, and make sure the Firmware Type is BIOS.
- Boot the new Virtual Machine, enter the network settings and let the machine boot to show the Quick Setup URL and Access Code.
- You should be able to go through Quick Setup with no issues.
