Summary
The documentation page provides detailed PowerShell examples for authentication using the MSAL.PS module, which is Windows-centric, and does not offer equivalent Linux or cross-platform command-line examples (e.g., Bash, curl, Python). The Azure CLI example is present, but PowerShell is given more coverage and detail. There is no mention of Linux-native tools or workflows for obtaining tokens, and the order of examples puts PowerShell before any Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
- Add Linux/Bash examples for requesting authorization tokens, such as using curl or Python with MSAL.
- Include cross-platform authentication workflows, not just PowerShell/MSAL.PS.
- Balance example coverage by providing equivalent detail for Azure CLI and other non-Windows tools.
- Explicitly mention that Azure CLI works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Consider reordering examples so that cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, REST/curl) appear before Windows-specific tools like PowerShell.
