 * `LDAP_CONFIG_ADMIN_PASSWORD_FILE`: Path to a file that contains the LDAP configuration admin user password. This will override the value specified in `LDAP_CONFIG_ADMIN_PASSWORD`. No defaults.
 * `LDAP_USERS`: Comma separated list of LDAP users to create in the default LDAP tree. Default: **user01,user02**
 * `LDAP_PASSWORDS`: Comma separated list of passwords to use for LDAP users. Default: **bitnami1,bitnami2**
-* `LDAP_USER_DC`: DC for the users' organizational unit. Default: **users**
+* `LDAP_USER_OU`: Name for the user's organizational unit. Default: **users**
+* `LDAP_GROUP_OU`: Name for the group's organizational unit. Default: **groups**
 * `LDAP_GROUP`: Group used to group created users. Default: **readers**
 * `LDAP_ADD_SCHEMAS`: Whether to add the schemas specified in `LDAP_EXTRA_SCHEMAS`. Default: **yes**
 * `LDAP_EXTRA_SCHEMAS`: Extra schemas to add, among OpenLDAP's distributed schemas. Default: **cosine, inetorgperson, nis**
-* `LDAP_SKIP_DEFAULT_TREE`: Whether to skip creating the default LDAP tree based on `LDAP_USERS`, `LDAP_PASSWORDS`, `LDAP_USER_DC` and `LDAP_GROUP`. Please note that this will **not** skip the addition of schemas or importing of LDIF files. Default: **no**

Default LDAP tree based on the `LDAP_USERS`, `LDAP_PASSWORDS`, `LDAP_USER_DC` and `LDAP_GROUP` will be skipped when `LDAP_CUSTOM_LDIF_DIR` is used. When using this it will override the usage of `LDAP_USERS`, `LDAP_PASSWORDS`, `LDAP_USER_DC` and `LDAP_GROUP`.
