Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias primarily in the authentication section, where only a PowerShell snippet is provided for base64-encoding a PFX certificate file, with no equivalent Linux or cross-platform example. The mention of 'your favorite utility' for PFX conversion is vague and does not offer parity for Linux users. No Linux-specific tools or commands (e.g., OpenSSL) are referenced, and the only concrete example uses PowerShell, a Windows-centric tool.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux and cross-platform examples for base64-encoding PFX files, such as using OpenSSL and base64 commands.
  • Explicitly mention Linux tools (e.g., OpenSSL) for PFX conversion and encoding, with sample commands.
  • Provide guidance for both Windows and Linux users in all code snippets and tool recommendations.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, offer an alternative using Bash or other common Linux shells.
