Summary
The documentation page presents Active Directory (a Windows-centric directory service) as the first and most prominent method for configuring directory services in Azure HPC Cache. The AD configuration section is detailed and appears before Linux/UNIX alternatives (flat file and LDAP). While Linux/UNIX options are included, the ordering and emphasis suggest a Windows-first bias, and Windows tools (Active Directory) are described in greater detail.
Recommendations
- Reorder the configuration options to present Linux/UNIX methods (flat file and LDAP) before Active Directory, or present all options with equal prominence.
- Provide equally detailed configuration steps and screenshots for flat file and LDAP methods as are given for Active Directory.
- Explicitly mention Linux/UNIX directory service equivalents (e.g., FreeIPA, OpenLDAP) and provide examples or references for their use.
- Include troubleshooting tips and best practices for Linux/UNIX environments alongside those for Windows/AD.
- Avoid language that implies Active Directory is the default or preferred method unless it is technically required.
