Summary
The documentation is generally Linux-focused and provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for configuring Kerberos authentication for Linux clients with Azure Files. However, there is evidence of Windows bias in two areas: (1) the use of Windows-centric terminology and tools (such as NT ACLs, references to updating ACLs through Windows, and reliance on Active Directory Domain Services), and (2) the documentation recommends updating file share ACLs via Windows tools, noting that Linux tools for NT ACLs are minimal. Additionally, Windows AD DS is mentioned before Microsoft Entra Domain Services, and the overall access control model is described in terms of Windows concepts.
Recommendations
- Expand documentation of Linux-native tools for managing NT ACLs, such as setfacl or samba-tool, and provide examples where possible.
- Include guidance or references for cross-platform ACL management, highlighting any available Linux utilities or third-party solutions.
- Clarify or balance terminology to avoid implying that Windows is the only or primary platform for managing access controls, especially in sections relevant to Linux administrators.
- Where Windows AD DS is mentioned, ensure that equivalent Linux or open-source alternatives (such as Samba AD DC) are referenced, if supported.
- Provide more context or caveats about limitations of Linux tools, and suggest workarounds or roadmap for improved Linux parity.
