Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows environments, specifically referencing AD FS (Active Directory Federation Services), which is a Windows Server feature. All configuration steps for setting up the identity provider are described using Windows GUI tools (Server Manager, AD FS Management), with no mention of command-line alternatives or Linux-based equivalents. There are no examples or guidance for performing similar tasks on Linux or cross-platform environments, nor is there any mention of open-source alternatives to AD FS.
Recommendations:
- Provide PowerShell and command-line alternatives for AD FS configuration steps, which can be run on Windows Server Core or remotely.
- Acknowledge that AD FS is a Windows-only technology and suggest open-source or cross-platform alternatives (such as Keycloak, IdentityServer, or other OpenID Connect providers) for Linux users.
- Include a section or links for configuring a generic OpenID Connect provider from Linux, with example commands and configuration files.
- Clarify in the prerequisites that AD FS requires Windows Server and provide links to documentation for setting up AD FS from scratch, including any available automation scripts.
- If possible, add parity by showing how to perform similar identity provider integration using a Linux-based OpenID Connect provider, so non-Windows users have a clear migration or integration path.
