Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows environments, particularly through repeated references to Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., AD FS, Windows Server Active Directory, Windows Hello for Business) and the absence of Linux or cross-platform equivalents. Examples and recommendations are almost exclusively framed in terms of Microsoft/Windows technologies, with no mention of how to achieve similar outcomes in Linux-based environments or with open-source tools. This may leave Linux administrators without clear guidance for securing identity infrastructure in hybrid or non-Windows settings.
Recommendations
- Include examples and guidance for Linux-based identity infrastructure, such as integrating Microsoft Entra ID with Linux authentication systems (e.g., PAM, SSSD, LDAP).
- Mention and provide parity for password protection and banned password features for Linux environments, or reference third-party/open-source equivalents.
- When discussing AD FS and Windows Hello for Business, provide alternatives or guidance for organizations using Linux-based federation or authentication solutions (e.g., Shibboleth, Keycloak, SAML implementations).
- Add instructions for monitoring, logging, and auditing using Linux-native tools (e.g., syslog, auditd) and how to integrate these with Microsoft Entra ID.
- Ensure that recommendations for privileged account protection, self-service password reset, and access reviews include Linux-compatible workflows or third-party solutions.
- Explicitly state cross-platform compatibility for features and clarify any Windows-only limitations.
