Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric: all certificate export steps rely on Windows GUI tools (Certificate Manager, Certificate Export Wizard) and PowerShell is mentioned as the way to open certificate management. Linux alternatives (such as using OpenSSL or command-line tools) are not provided for exporting certificates or viewing certificate chains. Only in the final concatenation step is a Linux command shown, and even there, the Windows command is listed first. There are no screenshots or step-by-step instructions for Linux environments.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux instructions for exporting certificates, e.g., using OpenSSL to extract public and CA certificates.
- Include Linux command-line examples for viewing certificate details and exporting certificate chains.
- Add screenshots or terminal output examples for Linux workflows.
- Mention Linux tools (such as openssl, certtool) alongside Windows tools, and avoid listing Windows steps first by default.
- Clarify that the process can be performed on both Windows and Linux, and provide parity in guidance for both platforms.
