Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All certificate management steps rely on Windows-specific tools (certtmpl.msc, Internet Explorer, Internet Options, Windows certificate export wizard) and Active Directory Certification Services. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives provided for certificate creation, request, or export. The prerequisites and workflow assume a Windows-based PKI and client environment, with no mention of Linux-compatible CA solutions or command-line tools.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions for Linux environments, such as using OpenSSL or certtool for certificate creation and management.
  • Include examples of requesting and exporting certificates using Linux command-line tools.
  • Mention Linux-compatible PKI solutions (e.g., Dogtag, EJBCA) as alternatives to Active Directory Certification Services.
  • Clarify which steps are Windows-specific and offer cross-platform guidance where possible.
  • Add screenshots and walkthroughs for Linux-based certificate management workflows.
  • Ensure that validation steps (such as viewing certificates in browsers) include guidance for Linux browsers (e.g., Firefox, Chrome on Linux).
