Summary
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell cmdlets (New-AzDataFactoryV2LinkedServiceEncryptedCredential, Set-AzDataFactoryV2LinkedService) and references DPAPI, a Windows-specific encryption technology. There are no examples or instructions for Linux/macOS users, nor mention of cross-platform alternatives. Prerequisites specify PowerShell 7+, but do not clarify Linux support or provide Linux-specific guidance.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state whether the cmdlets and DPAPI encryption are supported on Linux/macOS self-hosted integration runtime nodes.
  • If Linux/macOS support exists, provide equivalent command-line examples (e.g., PowerShell Core on Linux, Azure CLI, or REST API usage).
  • If Windows-only, clearly indicate this limitation and suggest alternatives or workarounds for Linux/macOS users.
  • Mention any differences in credential encryption/storage mechanisms for non-Windows platforms.
  • Reorder or supplement examples so Linux/macOS usage is shown alongside or before Windows examples.
