  2. Run the following command: 
    # samples/verifyAllAuditpackages.sh username=[username] password=[password] server=[PureApp server] targetdir=/path/to/download_directory/ type=PureAS crypto=sha512
    where [username] and [password] are your IBM Cloud Pak System Software for Power administrator credentials.
