In D6.5 you have the option to set "On-Demand LDAP Synchronization". Go to DA, Basic Configuration/Repository, open the repository properties, and you have a checkbox "LDAP Synchronization One-Demand" (yes, its a typo).

So you don't need to run the ldap sync job, but I think this is not a good idea, and it has more reasons:

1. If the user is created in Dctm, it's not maintened anymore (what if the user's e-mail address changes, or it gets deleted from Directory)

2. If you modify the LDAP configuration, the users (dm_user) properties are not getting updated after it

3. You are not aware how many user can access the repository (this is essential as you need to track needed licenses too)

4. You can solve the problem that not to let the LDAP sync job synchronize every Directory user. Just create a group in the Directory, assign the users to it who needs Dctm rights, and set the "Person search base" and "person search filter" in the LDAP config object.

Cheers,
