Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Key Active Directory setup steps (such as creating accounts, DNS records, and SPNs) are described using Windows-centric tools and workflows, notably 'Active Directory Users and Computers' and the 'setspn' command, both of which are native to Windows environments. The Windows PowerShell script for keytab generation is mentioned before the Linux shell script, and the overall workflow assumes access to Windows domain controllers and tools. While Linux alternatives for keytab generation are provided, the initial instructions and examples prioritize Windows methods and tools.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux-based instructions for Active Directory account creation and SPN registration, such as using 'adutil' or 'ldapadd' for account management and SPN registration.
- Include examples of using Samba tools (e.g., 'samba-tool') for managing Active Directory objects from Linux.
- Reorder tool and script references so that Linux and Windows options are presented equally, or Linux-first when targeting cross-platform audiences.
- Add guidance for environments where domain controllers are running on Samba/Unix, not just Windows Server.
- Clarify which steps require Windows-only tools and offer alternatives or workarounds for Linux administrators.
