Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by focusing almost exclusively on Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) and Microsoft Entra Domain Services as LDAP providers, with explicit statements that OpenLDAP and other third-party LDAP services are not supported. Examples and screenshots are based on Windows tools (e.g., Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in, Multi-valued String Editor, Attribute Editor). Instructions for managing POSIX attributes are given only for Windows environments, and there are no equivalent Linux-based examples or tool references. The page references Windows-specific tools (Ntdsutil.exe) for LDAP policy changes and does not provide Linux alternatives or parity in configuration steps.
Recommendations
- Provide examples and screenshots for managing POSIX attributes using common Linux LDAP tools (e.g., ldapmodify, phpldapadmin, or command-line utilities).
- Clarify the lack of support for OpenLDAP and other Linux LDAP servers, and if possible, provide guidance or workarounds for Linux environments.
- Include references to Linux-based LDAP management and troubleshooting tools where relevant.
- Offer step-by-step instructions for configuring LDAP attributes and policies using Linux utilities, alongside the Windows instructions.
- Ensure that any troubleshooting or configuration notes that reference Windows tools (such as Ntdsutil.exe) also mention if and how similar tasks can be accomplished in Linux environments.
