Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias in several areas. The per-app private client certificate method is explicitly limited to Windows code apps, with no Linux equivalent or workaround described. All example commands for certificate verification and creation use PowerShell, and the Kudu console instructions are Windows-specific. There are no Linux shell or cross-platform examples for these scenarios. The documentation does mention that the recommended Root Certificate API method works for both Windows and Linux, but when it comes to practical, step-by-step instructions and code samples, only Windows tools and workflows are provided.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux-based apps, especially for certificate verification and creation (e.g., using Bash, OpenSSL, or Linux-native tools).
- Clarify whether there is any supported method for per-app root certificate configuration on Linux, or explicitly state the limitation and suggest alternatives.
- Where PowerShell is used for certificate creation or verification, offer OpenSSL or Bash alternatives for Linux users.
- In the Kudu console section, mention how Linux users can access the certificate store and verify installation.
- Review all step-by-step instructions to ensure parity for both Windows and Linux environments, or clearly document any platform-specific limitations.
