Summary
The documentation page exclusively provides PowerShell and C# examples for converting a certificate to base-64, both of which are Windows-centric. There are no Linux or cross-platform command-line examples (e.g., using OpenSSL or base64 utilities), nor is there mention of Linux tools or workflows. This creates a bias toward Windows users and may hinder Linux users from following the instructions.
Recommendations
- Add Linux shell examples, such as using 'openssl' and 'base64' commands to convert a .pfx file to base-64.
- Include instructions for macOS users, if applicable.
- Present cross-platform solutions first, or at least alongside Windows-specific ones.
- Explicitly mention that the process can be performed on Linux and provide equivalent commands.
- Clarify any platform-specific caveats or differences in certificate handling.
