Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only PowerShell and C# examples for converting certificate contents to base-64, both of which are primarily used on Windows. There are no Linux or cross-platform command-line examples (such as OpenSSL or base64 commands), and Windows tools/patterns are mentioned exclusively and first.
Recommendations
- Add Linux shell examples using commands like 'openssl' and 'base64' to convert .pfx files to base-64.
- Include instructions for macOS users, as their workflow may differ slightly from Linux.
- Present cross-platform solutions (e.g., Python scripts) that work on both Windows and Linux.
- Reorder examples so that platform-neutral or Linux examples are presented alongside or before Windows-specific ones.
- Explicitly mention that the conversion can be performed on any OS and provide parity in troubleshooting steps.
