Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows VM password policies are described in detail, with multiple audit controls and explicit settings listed, while Linux VM password and authentication controls are mentioned only briefly and lack equivalent detail. Windows-specific audit examples are provided (e.g., password complexity, password age, password history), but Linux equivalents (such as password aging, complexity, and shadow file permissions) are not covered. Additionally, Windows VM controls are presented before Linux VM controls in relevant sections, and Windows terminology/tools are referenced without Linux parity.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux VM password management audit controls, such as checks for password complexity, aging, and history (e.g., /etc/login.defs, PAM configuration).
- Provide explicit Linux examples for password and authentication controls, similar to the Windows examples (e.g., minimum password length, password reuse restrictions).
- Ensure that both Windows and Linux VM controls are presented with equal detail and prominence in all relevant sections.
- Reference Linux tools and configuration patterns (e.g., passwd, chage, PAM modules) alongside Windows tools.
- Where audit controls are OS-specific, clearly label them and provide parity for both platforms.
