Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows terminology and tools (Active Directory, MMC, PowerShell, setspn) are referenced first and most extensively, with Linux equivalents (such as kadmin, ktutil, or direct keytab management) rarely or never mentioned. Examples and workflows for managing Kerberos principals and SPNs focus on Windows tools and patterns, and there is a lack of concrete Linux command-line examples for tasks like keytab creation, SPN management, or troubleshooting. The documentation assumes a Microsoft-centric KDC environment and omits guidance for Linux administrators who may need to interact with Azure NetApp Files Kerberos features.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-focused examples for Kerberos principal and keytab management (e.g., using kadmin, ktutil, and editing krb5.conf).
- Include Linux command-line workflows for SPN creation, troubleshooting, and ticket inspection (e.g., klist, kvno).
- Reference Linux tools and configuration files (krb5.conf, keytab) alongside Windows tools, not just as afterthoughts.
- Provide parity in troubleshooting guidance, including common Linux error messages and log locations.
- Explicitly mention and document how Linux clients interact with Azure NetApp Files Kerberos, including hostname truncation and SPN mapping issues.
- Balance references to Windows and Linux in terminology and workflow sections, ensuring both audiences are supported.
