Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows-centric technologies and patterns, such as ASP.NET, ADFS, web.config, and PowerShell commands. All code samples and configuration examples use Windows-specific frameworks (ASP.NET MVC, Web Forms, web.config XML, C#), and there are no Linux or cross-platform equivalents provided. Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell for ADFS configuration) are mentioned exclusively, and Linux alternatives (such as bash scripts, nginx/apache config, or cross-platform frameworks) are missing. The documentation assumes a Windows/IIS environment throughout and does not address Linux-hosted web applications or APIs.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples for Linux-based web frameworks (e.g., Django, Flask, Node.js/Express, Ruby on Rails) for session management, CSRF protection, and secure cookie settings.
  • Include configuration samples for popular Linux web servers (nginx, Apache) showing how to enforce secure and HttpOnly cookies.
  • Provide cross-platform code samples (e.g., using Python, JavaScript, or Java) for session timeout and logout logic.
  • Mention Linux command-line tools and scripts (e.g., bash, systemd, cron) for managing session lifetimes and authentication tokens.
  • Reference open-source identity providers and SSO solutions (e.g., Keycloak, Auth0, OAuth2-proxy) and show how to configure logout and session management on Linux.
  • When describing PowerShell commands, offer bash or CLI alternatives for Linux environments where possible.
  • Clarify which mitigations and patterns are Windows-specific and which are applicable cross-platform, and structure documentation so that Linux options are presented alongside Windows ones.
