Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing certificate management steps that link only to Windows-specific instructions and omitting equivalent Linux or cross-platform guidance. For example, the steps to obtain and upload certificates for SAML configuration link to documentation with a 'tabs=windows' parameter, and there are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives or notes. Additionally, the only application code sample provided is for ASP.NET MVC (a Windows-centric technology), with no mention of Linux-compatible frameworks or deployment options.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux (and macOS, if possible) instructions or links for certificate generation and management, such as using OpenSSL or Linux-native tools.
- Update links to certificate management documentation to include both Windows and Linux tabs, or add a note clarifying Linux alternatives.
- Include code samples or references for cross-platform or Linux-friendly application frameworks (e.g., Node.js, Python Flask, Java Spring) in addition to ASP.NET MVC.
- When referencing sample applications, ensure at least one is easily runnable on Linux (e.g., the Docker header-demo-app is a good start, but clarify how to run it on Linux).
- Review all step-by-step instructions to ensure parity for Linux users, especially in areas involving file manipulation, certificate creation, and application deployment.
