If you already have JRE on your workstation, the Security Gateway opens a separate browser window and starts the Visual Policy Manager. The first time you start the policy editor, it displays an empty policy.
    If you do not have JRE on your workstation, a security warning window appears. Click Yes to continue. Follow the instructions.
