Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a clear Windows bias. All instructions for configuring AD FS are given using Windows-specific tools (Server Manager, AD FS Management), with no mention of Linux alternatives or cross-platform approaches. The examples and screenshots exclusively reference Windows environments, and there are no PowerShell scripts or command-line alternatives provided, but the reliance on GUI tools is itself Windows-centric. No Linux-based AD FS equivalents or instructions are offered, nor is there guidance for users who might be running AD FS or similar identity providers on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
  • Provide command-line (PowerShell and/or Windows CMD) instructions for AD FS configuration to support automation and remote management.
  • Explicitly state that AD FS is a Windows Server feature and clarify platform requirements early in the documentation.
  • Mention and link to cross-platform alternatives (such as using Azure AD, Keycloak, or other OpenID Connect providers that run on Linux) for users who do not have access to Windows Server.
  • If possible, include steps or references for configuring OpenID Connect providers on Linux, or provide parity documentation for equivalent scenarios.
  • Add a note about the lack of Linux support for AD FS, and suggest alternative identity providers for Linux environments.
