Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific certificate export defaults (3DES from Windows 10/Server 2016), requiring the Microsoft RSA/Schannel Cryptographic Provider (Windows-only), and listing only Windows-centric tools and workflows (Azure PowerShell cmdlets, Azure Stack Hub Readiness Checker tool) for certificate creation and management. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, nor are Linux-compatible tools or patterns mentioned.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-based examples for certificate creation and export, such as using OpenSSL.
  • Clarify whether the Microsoft RSA/Schannel Cryptographic Provider requirement precludes certificates generated on Linux, and suggest alternatives if possible.
  • Mention Linux-compatible encryption options for PFX files and how to meet the requirements using Linux tools.
  • Include instructions or links for exporting PFX certificates with private keys on Linux/macOS.
  • List cross-platform or Linux-native tools for certificate management alongside Windows tools.
  • Ensure parity in troubleshooting steps and workflows for both Windows and Linux environments.
