Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Troubleshooting steps and error resolutions for SMB and dual-protocol volumes are heavily oriented toward Active Directory (AD DS), Microsoft Entra Domain Services, and Windows-centric concepts. PowerShell commands are provided for Kerberos configuration, but equivalent Linux commands (such as using 'ldapmodify' or 'kinit' for account settings) are not included. The documentation discusses mapping UNIX users to Windows users and POSIX attributes, but does not provide concrete Linux-side examples or tools for managing these mappings. In general, Windows tools and terminology (AD, PowerShell, OU paths, LDAP Signing) are mentioned first or exclusively, while Linux/NFS troubleshooting is less detailed and lacks parity in command-line examples.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and examples, such as using 'ldapmodify', 'realm', or 'adcli' for Kerberos and LDAP configuration.
  • Provide Linux command equivalents for PowerShell commands, especially for managing Kerberos encryption types and machine accounts.
  • Include examples of configuring POSIX attributes on Linux and mapping users/groups between Linux and AD.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux/NFS troubleshooting is given equal prominence to Windows/SMB issues.
  • Reference Linux tools (such as 'sssd', 'krb5.conf', 'nsswitch.conf', 'systemctl') alongside Windows tools when discussing authentication and network troubleshooting.
  • Where AD/PowerShell is mentioned, also mention how similar tasks can be accomplished on Linux, and link to relevant documentation.
