Summary:
The documentation assumes the use of Windows-based AD FS management tools (Server Manager, AD FS Management console) and provides only GUI-based instructions specific to Windows environments. There are no Linux or cross-platform command-line alternatives, nor any mention of how to perform equivalent steps on non-Windows systems. The documentation also references Windows-specific endpoints and concepts before any mention of general OpenID Connect standards.
Recommendations:
- Provide PowerShell and command-line alternatives for AD FS configuration, and clarify if these can be run on non-Windows platforms (e.g., via Windows Admin Center, remote management, or cross-platform tools).
- Explicitly state that AD FS is a Windows Server role and clarify any platform limitations early in the prerequisites.
- If possible, mention or link to open-source or Linux-compatible alternatives to AD FS for OpenID Connect integration.
- Add a note or section explaining that the described steps require access to a Windows Server environment, and offer guidance for users working in mixed or non-Windows environments.
- Where possible, use OpenID Connect terminology and standards first, then describe how AD FS implements them, to reduce Windows-centric framing.
