Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments, with all examples and instructions using Windows PowerShell, Windows AD DS, and Windows-specific tools (e.g., Setspn, Active Directory PowerShell module). There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives provided for enabling AD DS authentication for Azure Files, nor any mention of how Linux clients or administrators might approach this scenario. The documentation assumes a Windows-centric IT environment throughout.
Recommendations
- Add guidance for Linux administrators, including how to interact with AD DS from Linux (e.g., using Samba tools, ldap utilities, or Kerberos configuration).
- Provide Linux command-line examples for relevant steps, such as creating service accounts, setting SPNs, and managing Kerberos keys.
- Clarify client compatibility: explicitly state how Linux SMB clients can authenticate to Azure Files with AD DS, and what configuration is required.
- Mention any cross-platform limitations or requirements, and link to resources for Linux/Unix integration with AD DS.
- Where possible, use Azure CLI or REST API examples in addition to PowerShell, as these are cross-platform.
