Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. It prioritizes ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core (Windows-centric frameworks) in its code samples, providing them before other stacks. The only explicit mention of how to access the client certificate in a framework is for ASP.NET, and the detailed code samples for certificate validation are heavily focused on C# and .NET. There is no mention of Linux-specific tools, shell commands, or configuration patterns, and no examples are given for Linux command-line environments (e.g., Bash). The Azure CLI example is cross-platform, but there are no Linux-specific troubleshooting steps, nor is there any mention of Linux-specific certificate handling nuances. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows development patterns and tools.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit Linux/Bash command-line examples for enabling client certificates and configuring exclusion paths, in addition to Azure CLI.
- Provide guidance or examples for accessing and validating client certificates in popular Linux web servers (e.g., Nginx, Apache) when running on App Service for Linux.
- Include troubleshooting steps or notes for Linux-specific issues, such as file permissions or environment variable handling.
- Balance the order of code samples by presenting cross-platform or Linux-friendly stacks (Node.js, Python, Java) before or alongside Windows-centric frameworks.
- Clarify that the Azure CLI is cross-platform and can be used from Bash or other Linux shells.
- Mention any differences in client certificate handling between App Service on Windows and App Service on Linux, if applicable.
