Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-centric tools and patterns are referenced first or exclusively in several key steps, such as using 'Active Directory Users and Computers' for account creation and 'setspn' for SPN registration, both of which are Windows-only utilities. The process for generating keytab files does mention Linux tools and scripts, but Windows tools (like 'ktpass' and a PowerShell script) are listed alongside or before Linux equivalents. There is no explicit Linux example for creating the Active Directory account or registering SPNs, and the documentation assumes access to a Windows domain controller for these steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux-based alternatives for all steps, especially for creating Active Directory accounts and registering SPNs (e.g., using 'adutil' or 'ldapadd' for account creation, and 'adutil spn' for SPN registration).
  • List Linux tools and scripts before or alongside Windows tools, rather than after.
  • Include example commands for Linux environments where possible, not just for keytab generation but also for other Active Directory interactions.
  • Clarify which steps require Windows-only tools and suggest cross-platform or open-source alternatives where feasible.
  • Add a section or note on how to perform prerequisite steps (such as account and SPN creation) from a Linux or non-Windows environment, referencing official Microsoft documentation for 'adutil' and other relevant tools.
