Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently referencing Windows Active Directory as the only supported KDC, prioritizing Windows terminology and tools (such as Event Viewer, MMC, PowerShell, and setspn), and providing detailed workflows and troubleshooting steps using Windows-centric utilities. Linux equivalents, examples, and tools are either missing or mentioned only in passing, with little guidance for Linux administrators. Windows patterns and tools are introduced before any Linux alternatives, and practical Linux command-line examples (e.g., kinit, klist, keytab management) are largely absent.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state support or limitations for non-Windows KDCs (such as MIT or Heimdal) and provide guidance for integrating Linux-based KDCs if possible.
- Include Linux-focused examples for Kerberos configuration, such as keytab management (ktutil), principal creation, and troubleshooting using Linux tools (e.g., journalctl, systemd logs, klist, kinit).
- Provide Linux command-line examples for mounting NFS shares with Kerberos, including sample krb5.conf and keytab file management.
- Mention and explain Linux equivalents for Windows tools (e.g., setspn vs. ktutil, Event Viewer vs. syslog/journalctl) in relevant sections.
- Balance troubleshooting guidance by including common Linux error messages and diagnostic steps alongside Windows-centric instructions.
- Clarify any Azure NetApp Files limitations regarding Linux integration, and offer best practices for Linux environments where possible.
