Summary
The documentation provides detailed PowerShell examples for obtaining OAuth tokens using the MSAL.PS module, which is Windows-centric. There are no equivalent examples for Linux-native tools (e.g., curl, Python, bash) or cross-platform authentication libraries. The only non-Windows example is the Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, but the more advanced authentication scenarios are covered exclusively with PowerShell. There is no mention of Linux-specific patterns or tools, and Windows/PowerShell tooling is presented as the primary method for advanced authentication.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples for Linux users, such as using curl, wget, or Python requests to obtain OAuth tokens.
  • Include examples using cross-platform libraries like MSAL for Python, Node.js, or .NET Core.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide more advanced authentication examples using CLI or REST calls.
  • Avoid presenting PowerShell as the only or primary method for advanced scenarios; provide parity with Linux-native or cross-platform tools.
  • Where possible, add notes or links to documentation for Linux/macOS users to ensure inclusivity.
