Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All examples, instructions, and tooling references are Windows-centric, including exclusive use of Windows tools (Active Directory Domains and Trusts console, DNS Manager, File Explorer, icacls, setspn, net use, klist), and PowerShell commands. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives provided for mounting shares, managing AD trusts, configuring DNS, or validating Kerberos tickets. The instructions assume Windows environments and do not mention Linux clients or Samba integration, despite Azure Files supporting SMB access from Linux.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific instructions for mounting SMB Azure file shares (e.g., using mount.cifs or smbclient), including Kerberos authentication setup.
- Provide guidance for managing AD trusts and DNS from Linux (e.g., using Samba tools, realmd, or command-line utilities).
- Include examples of configuring file-level permissions using Linux ACLs (setfacl) and explain interoperability with Windows ACLs.
- Document how to validate Kerberos tickets and troubleshoot authentication on Linux (e.g., using klist, kvno, and other MIT/Heimdal Kerberos tools).
- Clarify any limitations or requirements for Linux clients in multi-forest AD scenarios with Azure Files.
- Where PowerShell is used, offer Bash or shell equivalents for Linux environments.
- Explicitly state platform requirements and parity, and link to cross-platform documentation where available.
