Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias by exclusively referencing Microsoft Active Directory as the supported LDAP server, focusing on Windows-centric LDAP schema extensions, and providing command-line examples (e.g., nslookup) in Windows syntax before mentioning Linux alternatives. There is a lack of Linux-specific configuration guidance or parity in examples, and Linux/UNIX LDAP servers (such as OpenLDAP) are not discussed as supported or referenced for integration.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly mention the lack of support for non-Active Directory LDAP servers (e.g., OpenLDAP) and, if possible, provide a roadmap or alternatives for Linux environments.
- Provide Linux/UNIX command-line examples (e.g., using dig, ldapsearch) alongside or before Windows examples when demonstrating LDAP/DNS queries.
- Include guidance or references for managing UNIX attributes in Active Directory from Linux clients or tools, not just Windows-based schema extensions.
- Clarify any limitations or workarounds for Linux/UNIX administrators who may need to integrate with Azure NetApp Files in mixed environments.
- Where possible, use neutral language and ordering (e.g., 'nslookup (Windows) or dig (Linux)') to avoid Windows-first presentation.
