TS732, Linux
-----------------
Is it not required to be a OS user in order to get acess to TS from TS732 ? I was talking to an admin and she told me this. I am not agreeing with it, but want to cross check about it.
Please let me know.
thanks
TS supports OS and non-OS users
However some functionality will be affected (cannot use TPLs, external tasks must run as someone else) when you are a non-OS user.
If you use SP or Forms Publisher with XSL you should be able to work through any issues.

That's a bit of a loaded, and confusingly phrased, question.
TeamSite 7.3.2 supports "Non-OS Users" - i.e., users who are not registered in /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow, but are instead registered in LDAP.
Such users can login to the TeamSite UI, but they won't be able to telnet to the TeamSite server because they cannot login at the OS level.
Similarly, because they cannot login at the OS level - Perl-based custimizatios (e.g.: WFTs, TPL-PTs, perl-based external task scripts, etc.) will NOT work [properly] because TeamSite will want to use "impersonation" which will fail because the OS will not allow processes to be run by users who are not registered at the OS level.
Thus, in order to support Non-OS Users, your customizations must be written using the Java CSSDK and PTs must be written in XSLT as opposed to Perl-based TPLs.
