Summary
The documentation page is heavily Windows-centric: all examples, instructions, and templates assume Windows Server and Windows 10 VMs. Only Windows domain controllers are referenced, and all configuration and verification steps use Windows tools (Group Policy Editor, PowerShell). There are no Linux equivalents or guidance for using Linux-based Kerberos realms, nor any mention of Linux VM support or cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for configuring Kerberos authentication with Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) and Linux-based domain controllers (such as Samba/Active Directory or MIT/Heimdal Kerberos).
- Include ARM template parameters and resource definitions for deploying Linux VMs and setting up a Linux-based Kerberos KDC.
- Provide verification steps for Kerberos authentication on Linux, such as using kinit, klist, and relevant configuration files (/etc/krb5.conf).
- Reference documentation for Kerberos on Linux (e.g., MIT Kerberos, Samba AD DC) alongside or before Windows resources.
- Offer PowerShell alternatives, such as Azure CLI or Bash scripts, for template deployment and VM configuration.
- Clarify platform limitations: if Kerberos authentication via Bastion is only supported for Windows VMs, state this clearly at the beginning of the documentation.
