1. Did you already add the entry for ou=People?
(This is a classic first error..)

2. You're mixing up your directory root. This uses the root you 
have in slapd.conf
String dn = "uid=wbjensen, ou=People, dc=tls-us, 
dc=com";   // <= *** Code that needs changing
(suffix          "dc=tls-us, dc=com")
but this:
String dn = "uid=wbjensen, ou=People, o=tls-us.com";   // <= *** 
Code that needs changing
Doesn't.
