Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-centric technologies and examples, such as SMB and Active Directory, and referencing Windows tools and security advisories. SMB encryption is discussed in detail before NFS/Kerberos, and UNC hardening is covered exclusively with Microsoft terminology. LDAP signing and channel binding are described primarily in the context of Windows Active Directory, with links to Windows documentation and Group Policy configuration. There is a lack of Linux-specific examples, tools, or configuration guidance, especially for NFS and LDAP scenarios, and no parity in showing how Linux clients or servers interact with Azure NetApp Files encryption features.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific examples for NFS encryption, such as configuration steps for Kerberos authentication on popular Linux distributions.
- Include guidance for configuring LDAP signing and StartTLS from Linux clients and servers, referencing common open-source LDAP implementations (e.g., OpenLDAP).
- Provide parity in example order: present NFS/Kerberos and SMB encryption side-by-side, or alternate which protocol is discussed first.
- Reference Linux tools (e.g., smbclient, mount.cifs, ldapsearch) and show how to verify encryption or configure secure connections from Linux environments.
- Include troubleshooting steps and performance considerations for both Windows and Linux clients.
- Where Windows-specific features (e.g., UNC hardening, Group Policy) are discussed, offer Linux equivalents or note their applicability.
