Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows/SMB and Active Directory scenarios, referencing Windows-specific tools and features (such as Group Policy, registry settings, and Microsoft advisories), and omitting Linux or non-Windows client configuration examples. SMB encryption and UNC hardening are discussed in depth, with references to Windows documentation and tools, while NFS/Kerberos and LDAP sections lack equivalent Linux-focused guidance or examples. There are no Linux command-line or configuration examples, and Windows terminology and tools are mentioned first or exclusively in several sections.
Recommendations:
- Add Linux/NFS client configuration examples for enabling and verifying Kerberos encryption, including relevant commands (e.g., mount options, krb5.conf settings).
- Provide equivalent Linux LDAP client configuration steps for LDAP signing and StartTLS, including example commands and configuration file snippets.
- Balance the order of presentation so that NFS/Linux and SMB/Windows scenarios are given equal prominence, or alternate which is presented first.
- Reference Linux documentation and tools (e.g., sssd, nsswitch, OpenLDAP, MIT Kerberos) alongside Windows tools like Group Policy.
- Include troubleshooting steps and best practices for both Windows and Linux environments.
- Where screenshots or packet captures are shown, provide examples from both Windows and Linux clients where applicable.
