Modifying the <eDirectory install path>/sbin/pre_ndsd_start to contain:
Remember to set the eDirectory installation path to the correct path.
if [ -f <eDirectory install path>/lib/dirxml/dirxml-jni-envx ] #added by IDMthen #added by IDM. <eDirectory install path>/lib/dirxml/dirxml-jni-envx #added by IDMfi #added by IDMNDSD_TRY_NMASLOGIN_FIRST=true #added by IDMexport NDSD_TRY_NMASLOGIN_FIRST #added by IDM

Cause
The eDirectory 8.8.8 Patch 4 non-root comes with an empty <eDirectroy
install path>/sbin/pre_ndsd_start, this causes the paths for
Identity Manager not to be set, and therefore not being able to start.
