Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows/Active Directory-centric bias. It exclusively discusses integration with Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) or Microsoft Entra Domain Services, with explicit statements that OpenLDAP or other third-party LDAP services are not supported. All attribute management examples and screenshots use Windows tools (Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in, Multi-valued String Editor, Attribute Editor), and guidance for modifying LDAP server settings references Windows-specific tools (Ntdsutil.exe). There are no examples or instructions for managing POSIX attributes or LDAP integration from a Linux LDAP server perspective, and Linux tools for attribute management are not mentioned. Linux is only referenced in the context of NFS clients, not as a potential LDAP server or management environment.
Recommendations:
- Clarify early in the documentation that only AD DS and Microsoft Entra Domain Services are supported, but also acknowledge the limitation and, if possible, provide a roadmap or alternatives for Linux/OpenLDAP users.
- Where attribute management is discussed, provide equivalent command-line examples (e.g., using ldapmodify or ldapadd) for environments where AD DS is managed from Linux or via scripts.
- Include a note or section explaining why OpenLDAP or other Linux-based LDAP servers are not supported, and what technical requirements or features are missing.
- If feasible, provide troubleshooting steps or references for Linux administrators who may need to interact with AD DS from Linux hosts (e.g., using Samba tools, ldapsearch, or other cross-platform utilities).
- Balance screenshots and examples by including at least one example of managing POSIX attributes using non-Windows tools, or clarify that all management must be done via Windows tools due to product limitations.
