Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently referencing Windows-centric tools, patterns, and terminology (Active Directory, Windows Server, Windows Hello for Business, Privileged Access Workstations), and by omitting Linux-specific equivalents or examples. The guidance for admin workstations, password protection, and privileged access is focused on Windows environments, with no mention of Linux-based identity management, authentication, or security tooling. Examples and recommendations for automation reference PowerShell and Windows tools, while Linux CLI or open-source alternatives are not discussed.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific examples for identity management, such as using Azure CLI on Linux, configuring authentication for Linux-based admin workstations, and integrating Linux PAM or SSSD with Microsoft Entra ID.
- Mention Linux equivalents for password protection and policy enforcement, such as using pam_pwquality or other password policy modules.
- Provide guidance for securing privileged access on Linux systems, including recommendations for sudoers configuration, SSH key management, and Linux-specific admin workstation hardening.
- Reference cross-platform automation tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Terraform) with examples for both Windows and Linux environments.
- Discuss Linux-compatible phishing-resistant authentication methods, such as FIDO2 keys and certificate-based authentication with Linux desktop environments.
- Balance references to Windows Hello for Business and Privileged Access Workstations with Linux desktop security features and best practices.
