Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. It exclusively references Microsoft Active Directory as the LDAP server, describes schema attributes and indexing only in the context of AD, and provides configuration instructions using Windows-specific tools (ADSI Edit). There are no examples or guidance for equivalent tasks on Linux LDAP servers (such as OpenLDAP), nor is there mention of Linux-native management tools or patterns. Windows terminology and tools are presented first and exclusively throughout.
Recommendations
- Include equivalent instructions and examples for configuring LDAP schemas and attribute indexing in common Linux LDAP servers such as OpenLDAP.
- Mention Linux tools (e.g., ldapmodify, slapd.conf, phpldapadmin) and provide step-by-step guidance for schema and attribute management.
- Add a section comparing Active Directory and Linux LDAP server behaviors, especially regarding RFC 2307bis support and attribute indexing.
- Provide cross-platform examples for querying and managing LDAP attributes, including both Windows (PowerShell, ADSI Edit) and Linux (command-line, config files) methods.
- Clarify that Azure NetApp Files can work with non-AD LDAP servers, and document any differences or requirements for Linux environments.
