Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows/SMB and Active Directory scenarios, referencing Windows-specific tools and features (such as Group Policy, registry settings, and Windows server-side configuration), and providing detailed explanations for Windows security mechanisms (e.g., UNC hardening, LDAP signing) without equivalent Linux or open-source examples. There is a lack of Linux/NFS client configuration guidance, and Linux tools or patterns are not mentioned or are only referenced after Windows equivalents.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel Linux/NFS client configuration examples for encryption, such as how to enable and verify NFS Kerberos encryption on common Linux distributions.
- Include references to Linux tools (e.g., sssd, nfs-utils, kinit, ldap-utils) and how they interact with Azure NetApp Files for encryption and authentication.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux/NFS and Windows/SMB scenarios are given equal prominence, or alternate which is presented first.
- Offer guidance on configuring LDAP signing and StartTLS from Linux/Unix clients and servers, not just Windows Active Directory.
- Add troubleshooting tips and best practices for Linux environments, including packet capture examples using Linux tools (e.g., tcpdump, Wireshark on Linux).
- Reference open-source documentation and standards (e.g., MIT Kerberos, OpenLDAP) alongside Microsoft documentation.
