Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively describing the process of configuring asymmetric name mapping using the Windows-only 'Active Directory Users and Computers MMC' tool, with no equivalent instructions for modifying LDAP attributes on Linux or non-Windows platforms. The workflow and screenshots are Windows-centric, and Linux is only shown as a consumer (verifying the mapping), not as an administrative platform.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent instructions for modifying LDAP user attributes using common Linux tools (e.g., ldapmodify, Apache Directory Studio, or command-line LDAP utilities).
- Include Linux-based examples and screenshots for updating the UID attribute in LDAP.
- Present both Windows and Linux workflows in parallel, or at least mention Linux alternatives before or alongside Windows tools.
- Clarify that the process can be performed from non-Windows environments and link to relevant Linux LDAP administration documentation.
