Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently referencing Windows concepts, tools, and patterns first (e.g., AD DS, DACLs, domain joining, FSLogix), and by omitting Linux-specific examples or guidance. While Linux is mentioned as a supported client, there are no Linux-specific instructions, diagrams, or access patterns described. Windows terminology and workflows dominate the explanations, and links to further reading are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific examples and workflows for enabling and using identity-based authentication with Azure Files over SMB, such as configuration steps for Linux clients.
- Provide parity in diagrams and instructions, showing how Linux and MacOS clients interact with Azure Files identity-based authentication.
- Reference Linux tools and authentication mechanisms (e.g., Samba, Kerberos configuration on Linux) alongside Windows tools.
- Add links to Linux-focused documentation (e.g., the referenced 'storage-files-identity-auth-linux-kerberos-enable.md') in relevant sections, and summarize their content.
- Explicitly mention any differences or additional requirements for Linux clients, such as package dependencies, configuration files, or troubleshooting steps.
