Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows-first perspective, referencing Windows-centric identity management concepts (Active Directory, Group Policy, LAPS) and tools before mentioning Linux equivalents. Windows access patterns (Remote Desktop) are described in detail, while Linux access (SSH) is mentioned only briefly and without example. Windows tools like LAPS are discussed exclusively, with no mention of Linux alternatives for local account management. There are no Linux-specific examples or guidance for hybrid identity scenarios.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples for identity and access management, such as using SSH with Microsoft Entra ID, and managing local Linux accounts.
- Mention Linux-native tools or solutions for local account rotation and management, such as sssd, sudoers, or third-party password rotation tools.
- Ensure parity in describing access patterns: give equal detail to SSH access for Linux as is given to Remote Desktop for Windows.
- Include hybrid identity scenarios involving Linux servers, such as integrating Linux PAM with Microsoft Entra ID or Azure Arc.
- Avoid assuming AD or Windows-centric management as the default; explicitly address both Windows and Linux environments throughout.
