Bias Analysis
Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation presents Active Directory (a Windows-centric technology) as the first and primary option for directory services integration, with more detailed instructions and screenshots. Linux/UNIX options (flat file and LDAP) are listed after AD and receive less emphasis, though they are covered. There are no PowerShell examples or exclusive use of Windows tools, but the ordering and detail suggest a Windows-first bias.
Recommendations
- Reorder the directory service options so that Linux/UNIX-compatible methods (flat file, LDAP) are listed before or alongside Active Directory, rather than after.
- Provide equal detail and screenshots for configuring flat file and LDAP sources, matching the coverage given to Active Directory.
- Explicitly mention Linux/UNIX environments and use cases in introductory sections to clarify parity and applicability.
- Add troubleshooting tips and best practices for Linux/UNIX integration, similar to those provided for Active Directory.
- Ensure terminology and examples are balanced between Windows and Linux/UNIX contexts.
