Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through its repeated references to Windows-specific tools and patterns, such as AD FS, Windows Server Active Directory, and features like 'AD FS Extranet Smart Lockout.' There is a lack of parity for Linux or cross-platform equivalents, with no mention of how to implement similar security controls or monitoring for non-Windows environments. The guidance and examples consistently assume a Windows-centric infrastructure, omitting instructions or references for organizations using Linux-based identity solutions or hybrid environments with significant Linux components.
Recommendations
- Include examples and guidance for securing Linux-based identity infrastructure, such as integration with LDAP, Kerberos, or other open-source identity providers.
- Provide parity for features like password protection and smart lockout by referencing cross-platform solutions or third-party tools available for Linux environments.
- Add instructions for monitoring and alerting using Linux-native SIEM tools (e.g., ELK stack, Splunk) alongside Azure Monitor and Sentinel.
- When discussing hybrid environments, explicitly address scenarios where Linux servers or non-Windows systems are present, and offer recommendations for securing those systems.
- Avoid assuming AD FS or Windows Server Active Directory as the default on-premises identity provider; mention alternatives and how Microsoft Entra can integrate with them.
