As present time, you need to configure Basic Authentication on your TFS Application Tier server in order to authenticate from Linux (or OSX).

Note that if you do this, you should also enable SSL so you can use HTTPS, because Basic Authentication sends credentials in cleartext, including passwords . Using HTTPS will ensure that the credentials are encrypted.
