Resolution

It is possible to install a Linux robot via nimldr by downloading the installer from a DX UIM Hub as long as the hub where you are connecting to is LDAP Enabled. When running through the nimldr script questions, set the hub where the archive is. If it's the primary hub and LDAP is enabled, the script will accept the user. 

If you select a secondary hub that hub itself needs to be either connected to a LDAP server, or "proxied" to the primary hub.

 Also, the ACL Assigned to the group the user belongs to in the Active Director/LDAP must have the "distribution" ACL as per:
