Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All client-side configuration instructions, prerequisites, and examples are exclusively for Windows operating systems and tools (Group Policy, Intune, registry, PowerShell, Windows File Explorer, icacls, ksetup). There are no examples, instructions, or mentions of Linux or macOS clients, nor any cross-platform tools or patterns. The documentation assumes the use of Windows environments for both hybrid and cloud-only scenarios, and omits guidance for non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
- Add explicit statements about support or lack thereof for Linux/macOS clients, including any limitations.
- If supported, provide Linux/macOS equivalents for mounting Azure Files with Microsoft Entra Kerberos authentication, including required packages (e.g., cifs-utils, krb5-user), configuration steps, and troubleshooting.
- Include examples of configuring Kerberos and SMB mounts on Linux, such as editing /etc/krb5.conf, using kinit, and mounting with mount.cifs.
- Document any differences in permissions management (e.g., POSIX ACLs vs. NTFS ACLs) and how to manage them on non-Windows platforms.
- Clarify whether features like directory/file-level permissions and Kerberos ticket retrieval are available or planned for non-Windows clients.
- If Linux/macOS are not supported, state this clearly and provide guidance or alternatives for cross-platform environments.
