Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific certificate export defaults (3DES from Windows 10/Server 2016), recommending the Microsoft RSA/Schannel Cryptographic Provider, and providing next steps that only mention Azure PowerShell cmdlets and the Azure Stack Hub Readiness Checker tool (both Windows-centric). There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives or examples for certificate creation, export, or management.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux-based certificate creation and export instructions, using tools like OpenSSL.
  • Clarify whether the Microsoft RSA/Schannel Cryptographic Provider requirement is strictly necessary, or provide Linux-compatible alternatives.
  • Include examples for exporting PFX certificates from Linux systems, specifying equivalent encryption and key attributes.
  • Mention cross-platform Azure CLI usage for certificate management, if supported.
  • Reorder or balance examples so that Linux and Windows approaches are presented equally, rather than Windows-first.
