Summary
The documentation displays a Windows bias in several areas. The per-app private client certificate method is explicitly limited to Windows code apps, with no Linux equivalent or workaround described. All example commands for certificate verification and creation use PowerShell, with no Linux shell or OpenSSL alternatives. The instructions for checking certificate installation reference the Kudu PowerShell console only, omitting Linux scenarios. The documentation does mention that the recommended Root Certificate API method works for both Windows and Linux, but practical examples and troubleshooting for Linux are missing or secondary.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific instructions and examples for per-app certificate management, or clarify Linux limitations and alternatives.
- Provide equivalent Linux shell commands (e.g., using OpenSSL) for certificate creation, export, and verification.
- Include guidance for checking certificate installation on Linux apps, such as using SSH, App Service SSH console, or Linux filesystem paths.
- Explicitly state any feature parity gaps and suggest workarounds for Linux users.
- Ensure that examples and troubleshooting steps are presented for both Windows and Linux platforms, not just Windows/PowerShell.
