Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All examples, instructions, and templates exclusively reference Windows VMs, Windows Server, and Windows 10. Kerberos setup is described only in the context of Active Directory Domain Controllers running on Windows Server. All automation and configuration scripts use PowerShell, and references to tools and settings (such as Group Policy Editor and NTLM restrictions) are Windows-specific. There are no examples or guidance for configuring Kerberos authentication with Linux VMs, Linux-based domain controllers (such as Samba), or using Linux tools and commands. The documentation also links only to Windows-centric resources and does not mention Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Add parallel instructions and examples for configuring Kerberos authentication with Linux VMs, including joining Linux VMs to an Active Directory domain or a Samba domain controller.
- Provide ARM template parameters and examples for deploying Linux-based domain controllers (e.g., Samba) and Linux client VMs.
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., using kinit, realm, sssd, or adcli) for domain joining and Kerberos verification.
- Reference Linux documentation for Kerberos and domain joining, such as official Samba and MIT Kerberos guides.
- Clarify any Azure Bastion limitations regarding Linux Kerberos authentication, and if supported, document the steps and troubleshooting for Linux scenarios.
- Balance PowerShell examples with Bash or shell script equivalents for Linux deployments.
