Solution

For Remote Access VPN Gateways, the legacy Policy Server daemon is turned off by default starting from:

• Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R82 Take 41.
• Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R81.20 Take 115.

The daemon is not required and not supported. The daemon was responsible for:

• Sending Desktop Policy to Remote Access clients
• Sending SCV (Secure Configuration Verification) Policy
• Receiving logs from Remote Access clients

Other daemons have now taken over these functions. As a result, Remote Access operations do not involve the legacy Policy Server daemon. In earlier versions, the Policy Server daemon listened on TCP port 18231.
