>From your first ldapsearch it appears you're using a simple bind. So
for the second search you should also specify -x:

ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us' -s base '(objectclass=*)'

And you should be checking that ou=people exists:

ldapsearch -x -b 'ou=people,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us' -s base
'(objectclass=*)'
