Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: it relies on PowerShell commands (Set-ADComputer) for critical configuration steps, references Windows-specific tools (RSAT), and assumes the use of Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) for Kerberos setup. These instructions are presented before or in place of Linux-native alternatives, despite the target NFS client being Linux. There are no examples or guidance for performing equivalent Kerberos/AD computer account configuration from Linux, nor mention of cross-platform alternatives for managing AD objects.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-native alternatives for managing Active Directory computer accounts, such as using 'ldapmodify', 'adcli', or 'realm' commands.
  • Include examples of configuring Kerberos encryption types for AD computer accounts from a Linux host, where possible.
  • Mention and link to cross-platform tools (e.g., Samba's 'net ads', 'ldapmodify') for AD integration and management.
  • Clarify which steps require Windows-only tools and which can be performed from Linux, and provide parity in instructions.
  • Add troubleshooting and verification steps for Linux environments, such as using 'klist', 'ldapsearch', or 'adcli info'.
