Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows-first perspective, referencing Windows-centric identity management concepts (Active Directory, Group Policy, LAPS) and tools before mentioning Linux equivalents. Examples and scenarios focus on Windows (e.g., Remote Desktop, AD domain join, LAPS), with Linux access (SSH) only briefly mentioned and lacking detailed examples. There is minimal coverage of Linux-specific identity management practices or tools, and no Linux-focused walkthroughs or parity in examples.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples for identity and access management, such as using SSH with Microsoft Entra ID, and managing Linux local accounts.
- Include Linux-native identity management tools and patterns (e.g., sudoers, PAM, SELinux, systemd-logind) alongside Windows tools like LAPS and Group Policy.
- Ensure that examples and scenarios are presented for both Windows and Linux platforms, ideally in parallel, to avoid a Windows-first impression.
- Add guidance for integrating Microsoft Entra ID with Linux authentication mechanisms, such as using SSSD or other Entra-compatible PAM modules.
- Explicitly mention how hybrid identity configurations apply to Linux servers, not just AD domain-joined Windows servers.
