Summary
The documentation page presents Active Directory (a Windows-centric directory service) as the first and most prominent option for configuring directory services in Azure HPC Cache. The AD configuration section is detailed and appears before Linux/UNIX alternatives (flat file and LDAP). There is no mention of Linux-specific tools or patterns beyond referencing standard /etc/passwd and /etc/group files, and no Linux-focused examples or troubleshooting steps are provided. The documentation implicitly prioritizes Windows tools and patterns over Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Reorder the configuration options to present Linux/UNIX methods (flat file, LDAP) before Active Directory, or present them in parallel to avoid implied prioritization.
- Provide Linux-focused examples, such as sample /etc/passwd and /etc/group file contents, and instructions for generating or exporting these files from Linux systems.
- Include troubleshooting steps and best practices for Linux/UNIX environments, such as permissions, file formats, and automation scripts.
- Mention open-source LDAP solutions (e.g., OpenLDAP) and provide guidance for integrating with them, not just generic LDAP instructions.
- Clarify that both Windows and Linux directory services are supported equally, and highlight any differences or considerations for each platform.
