Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias: all client operating system requirements are Windows-only, with no mention of Linux or macOS support or configuration. All examples for configuring permissions, Kerberos ticket retrieval, and realm mappings use Windows-specific tools (Group Policy, Intune, Registry, PowerShell, Windows commands like ksetup), and there are no instructions or guidance for non-Windows platforms. The documentation assumes the use of Windows ACLs and NTFS permissions, and all troubleshooting and debugging steps reference Windows tools. Linux and macOS clients, as well as their configuration patterns, are entirely omitted.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether Linux and macOS clients are supported for Microsoft Entra Kerberos authentication with Azure Files. If not supported, clarify this in the prerequisites and supported scenarios.
- If Linux/macOS support is possible, add equivalent configuration steps for those platforms, including Kerberos setup, mounting SMB shares, and managing permissions.
- Provide examples using Linux tools (e.g., kinit, smbclient, mount.cifs, setfacl) for Kerberos ticket retrieval and SMB mounting.
- Discuss how directory and file-level permissions can be managed from Linux/macOS clients, or clarify limitations.
- Include troubleshooting steps and debugging tools relevant to Linux/macOS environments.
- Avoid assuming Windows as the default platform; present cross-platform instructions or clearly separate Windows-specific guidance.
