Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows authentication is recommended as the default for SQL Server connections, and Windows-based authentication is consistently listed before other options. Windows-specific tools and terminology (e.g., Kerberos, Windows Server certificate service, MakeCert.exe, MSMQ, WCF, ADFS) are referenced without Linux or cross-platform equivalents. There are no Linux-specific examples or guidance, and no mention of Linux authentication patterns or tools. Code/configuration examples (e.g., WCF, MSMQ) are Windows/.NET-centric, with no parity for Linux environments.
Recommendations
- For every mention of Windows Authentication, add equivalent guidance for Linux environments (e.g., Kerberos on Linux, SQL authentication, or integration with Linux-based identity providers).
- When listing authentication mechanisms, avoid always placing Windows-based options first; instead, order them neutrally or by relevance to cross-platform scenarios.
- Where Windows tools (e.g., MakeCert.exe, Windows Server certificate service) are mentioned, provide Linux alternatives (e.g., OpenSSL, Let's Encrypt, Linux PKI guidance).
- Include Linux-specific or cross-platform code/configuration examples, especially for authentication to SQL Server, certificate management, and service authentication.
- For WCF/MSMQ and other .NET/Windows-specific technologies, either provide Linux/.NET Core equivalents or clearly indicate platform limitations.
- Reference Linux documentation or community resources where appropriate, especially for open-source or cross-platform authentication solutions.
