Summary
The documentation page shows evidence of Windows bias in several ways. Windows-based OPC UA server configuration tools (e.g., KEPServerEx) are mentioned explicitly, while Linux alternatives are not named. In tips about exporting certificates, Windows tools and interfaces are referenced first, with Linux methods described generically. Example commands are provided for both Bash and PowerShell, but PowerShell is given equal or greater prominence, and no Linux-native certificate management tools (such as certutil or Linux-based OPC UA servers) are discussed. There is a lack of explicit Linux server-side examples, and the documentation assumes familiarity with Windows-centric patterns.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention and provide examples for Linux-based OPC UA servers and their certificate management interfaces (e.g., open62541, Prosys OPC UA Server, etc.).
  • When discussing how to export certificates, include step-by-step instructions for common Linux OPC UA servers, not just generic references to 'operating system folders'.
  • In tips and notes, avoid mentioning Windows tools or interfaces first; present Linux and Windows options side-by-side.
  • Provide Linux-native command-line examples for certificate management (e.g., using certtool, openssl, or Linux-specific utilities) where appropriate.
  • Reference Linux desktop environments and file locations for certificate management, not just Windows-based configuration UIs.
  • Ensure parity in PowerShell and Bash examples, and clarify which commands are platform-specific.
