Posted by Mitch in PostalSoft on August 24, 2009
I have PostalSoft mailing software and I am trying to download the Diversified Directory for August and SAP Download Manager is telling me “The request failed: 302” It just won’t download the file.

Not entirely sure what caused this error in the first place, but I’m fairly sure that redoing LDAP settings for my domain controllers fixed it. In SonicWall 7.1.0.1787 you can setup a Filter String that’ll grab users from Active Directory based on whatever criteria you set. I ended up deleting my original LDAP server because [...]
