Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by focusing almost exclusively on Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) and Microsoft Entra Domain Services for LDAP, with explicit statements that OpenLDAP and other third-party LDAP servers are not supported. Examples and screenshots use Windows tools (Multi-valued String Editor, Active Directory Attribute Editor, MMC snap-in), and instructions for managing POSIX attributes are given only for Windows environments. Linux-specific instructions are limited to brief mentions (e.g., editing /etc/idmapd.conf), with no detailed Linux LDAP server configuration or attribute management examples. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned first and exclusively in most sections.
Recommendations
- Add examples and instructions for managing POSIX attributes on Linux LDAP servers (such as OpenLDAP), even if not officially supported, to help users understand the mapping and potential workarounds.
- Provide parity in screenshots and step-by-step guides for Linux environments, such as using ldapmodify, ldapadd, or phpldapadmin to set user/group attributes.
- Clarify the limitations and rationale for Windows-only LDAP support, and suggest alternatives or migration paths for organizations using Linux-based LDAP.
- Where possible, mention Linux tools and patterns alongside Windows ones, rather than only after or not at all.
- Include troubleshooting steps and common errors for Linux clients in more detail, especially around POSIX attribute mapping and NFS access.
