Resolution

The metadirectory for IDM 3.5.1 and IDM 3.6 are NOT supported on eDirectory 8.8.3 64bit.   See system requirements for Identity Manager 3.6 in the Documentation.
 
   
Currently IDM 3.5.1 and IDM 3.6 are only supported on eDirectory 8.8.3 32bit
 
Reinstall your server using eDirectory 32bit and then install IDM 3.5.1 or 3.6.
