This post-installation step is optional, but is required for customers who have purchased a VMware Aria Automation for Secure Hosts license. Automation for Secure Hosts is add-on for Automation Config that provides two security libraries. Both content libraries update regularly as security standards change. If you are a Automation for Secure Hosts customer, you need to configure these security libraries to download (or ingest) new content automatically as security standards change.

You can configure content to download (or ingest) automatically as security standards change, which is recommended for most standard systems.

For more instructions about configuring Automation for Secure Hosts library downloads, see Configuring Secure Hosts.
