Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing primarily on Microsoft Active Directory as the LDAP server, mentioning Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as nslookup with Windows-style output), and providing examples and configuration details for Windows environments before Linux equivalents. Linux/UNIX alternatives (FreeIPA, OpenLDAP, Red Hat Directory Server) are mentioned only in a note and not elaborated upon. There are no Linux command-line examples (e.g., ldapsearch, getent, or configuration steps for Linux LDAP clients), and the only DNS query example is Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Provide equal coverage and examples for Linux/UNIX LDAP servers (FreeIPA, OpenLDAP, Red Hat Directory Server), including configuration steps and supported features.
- Include Linux command-line examples for DNS SRV record lookups (e.g., dig, host) alongside Windows nslookup.
- Add sample LDAP queries using common Linux tools (ldapsearch, getent) to demonstrate usage in non-Windows environments.
- Clarify support and configuration differences between Windows and Linux LDAP servers in Azure NetApp Files.
- Present Linux/UNIX options and examples before or alongside Windows options to avoid 'windows_first' bias.
