Yes, there are two ways how to provide the policy - either via kickstart
or via GUI by entering the HTTP / FTP URI [*] of the policy (in RPM
package format) and clicking the "Fetch data" button.

I can remember seeing some video from Vratislav demonstrating the 'fetch
security policy in RPM format remotely' scenario too, but you are right
it's not illustrated in those demos (yet). Vratislav, can you add
demo video of this use case too?

Thanks && Regards, Jan.

[*] At the moment "only" HTTP / FTP options are allowed, but AFAIK there's support
    for more protocols planned.
