Note: Universal Type Server and Universal Type Client are not yet officially supported on macOS 10.15. Our QA team is hard at work making sure to fully test the compatibility, but at this time we do not recommend updating to 10.15.
Problem
After updating our server to macOS 10.15 Catalina we cannot access our Type Server via either Management Portal.
Cause
macOS 10.15 relocates files that do not fit into new locations based on it’s updated security policies. Universal Type Server’s sysctl.conf file can be one of these files.
