Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. It focuses almost exclusively on Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) and Microsoft Entra Domain Services (both Microsoft/Windows-centric LDAP implementations), with explicit statements that OpenLDAP and other third-party LDAP servers are not supported. Examples and screenshots use Windows tools (MMC snap-in, Multi-valued String Editor, Active Directory Attribute Editor), and instructions for managing POSIX attributes are given only for Windows environments. The only Linux-specific guidance is limited to NFS client configuration, with no examples or instructions for managing LDAP attributes or schema on Linux/OpenLDAP. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned first and exclusively in critical configuration steps.
Recommendations
- Clarify up front that only AD DS and Microsoft Entra Domain Services are supported, but provide rationale for the lack of OpenLDAP support.
- Where possible, offer equivalent Linux/OpenLDAP attribute management steps or explain how Linux administrators can verify or interact with AD DS for POSIX attributes.
- Include CLI-based examples (such as using ldapmodify, ldapsearch, or PowerShell alternatives) for managing POSIX attributes, not just GUI tools.
- Add troubleshooting guidance for Linux/macOS users who may need to interact with AD DS LDAP from non-Windows systems.
- Reorder examples so that Linux/NFS client configuration is not relegated to later steps, and provide parity in attribute management instructions.
