Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All certificate management steps rely on Windows-specific tools (certtmpl.msc, Internet Explorer, Windows Server), and prerequisites assume Active Directory and AD CS. There are no examples or guidance for Linux-based PKI solutions, certificate requests, or exports using OpenSSL or other cross-platform tools. The workflow is inaccessible to users operating in Linux-only or mixed environments.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent instructions for Linux environments, including how to generate and manage subordinate CA certificates using OpenSSL or other Linux PKI tools.
  • Provide examples for requesting and exporting certificates on Linux, such as using OpenSSL commands or web-based CA interfaces compatible with Linux.
  • Mention alternatives to Active Directory Certification Services, such as EJBCA, Dogtag, or OpenSSL-based CA setups.
  • Clarify that the process can be performed on non-Windows platforms and provide parity in step-by-step guidance.
  • Include screenshots or command-line examples for Linux alongside Windows instructions.
  • Avoid assuming Internet Explorer or Windows Server as the only platforms for certificate management.
