Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only PowerShell examples for key generation and certificate creation, referencing Windows-specific tools (PowerShell cmdlets), and omitting equivalent Linux/macOS commands or tools. The guidance for creating self-signed certificates and symmetric keys is exclusively Windows-centric, with no mention of cross-platform alternatives. This may hinder Linux or macOS developers from following the instructions without additional research.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS command-line examples for key generation (e.g., using openssl for symmetric keys and certificates).
  • Mention cross-platform tools (such as openssl, ssh-keygen) alongside PowerShell, and clarify which steps are OS-agnostic.
  • Reorder examples to present cross-platform or OS-neutral approaches first, or in parallel with Windows-specific instructions.
  • Add notes or links to external resources for Linux/macOS users to generate keys and certificates.
  • Explicitly state that the process can be completed on any OS, and highlight any platform-specific caveats.
