Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias throughout. All examples, templates, and instructions focus exclusively on Windows Server and Windows 10 VMs. Only Windows domain controllers are referenced, and all configuration scripts use PowerShell. There are no examples or guidance for deploying Kerberos authentication with Linux VMs, Linux domain controllers (such as Samba/FreeIPA), or using Linux-native tools. References and links point to Windows-specific documentation, and the verification steps rely on Windows Group Policy Editor and NTLM settings, which are not applicable to Linux environments.
Recommendations
- Add parallel instructions and examples for configuring Kerberos authentication with Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) in Azure.
- Include guidance for deploying and configuring a Linux-based domain controller (such as Samba AD DC or FreeIPA) and joining Linux VMs to the domain.
- Provide Linux shell (bash) equivalents for deployment and verification steps, including ARM template deployment via Azure CLI.
- Reference Linux documentation for Kerberos and Active Directory integration (e.g., MIT Kerberos, Samba, sssd).
- Clarify any Azure Bastion limitations regarding Linux Kerberos support, and if supported, document the steps and caveats.
- Ensure that verification steps include Linux methods (e.g., checking /etc/krb5.conf, using kinit/klist, system logs) for confirming Kerberos authentication.
