Summary
The documentation is focused on enabling Kerberos authentication for Linux clients with Azure Files and provides thorough Linux-specific instructions and examples. However, there is evidence of Windows bias: Windows-centric terminology and tools (such as NT ACLs, DACLs, and references to updating ACLs through Windows) are used, and Windows/Active Directory concepts are presented as the default or primary model. The documentation mentions that Linux tools for updating NT ACLs are minimal and recommends updating ACLs through Windows, without providing Linux alternatives or parity. Additionally, some configuration steps reference Windows AD DS as the primary directory service, with Microsoft Entra Domain Services as a secondary option.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-native methods or tools for managing NT ACLs and DACLs, or explicitly document any available open-source alternatives.
- Include more details or references for Linux tools that can update NT ACLs, even if limited, and clarify their capabilities and limitations.
- Where Windows tools or patterns are referenced (e.g., updating ACLs), offer Linux equivalents or workarounds, or acknowledge the gap and suggest future improvements.
- Present both Windows and Linux approaches in parallel when discussing directory services, access control, and file permissions, rather than defaulting to Windows terminology.
- Expand the documentation to include more Linux-centric troubleshooting, best practices, and integration patterns for hybrid environments.
