Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All examples, instructions, and screenshots assume a Windows client, with exclusive use of Windows PowerShell and Windows-specific tools (e.g., Notepad, hosts file at C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc). There is no mention of Linux or macOS clients, nor are there alternative instructions or examples for non-Windows platforms. The prerequisites and workflow steps explicitly require Windows PowerShell 5.1, and certificate management is described only for Windows. This creates significant friction for Linux/macOS users, who are left without guidance.
Recommendations
- Add explicit support and examples for Linux and macOS clients, including instructions for installing and using PowerShell Core (pwsh) on those platforms.
- Provide alternative certificate creation, import, and export steps using cross-platform tools (e.g., OpenSSL, certutil, or PowerShell Core commands).
- Include instructions for editing the hosts file on Linux (/etc/hosts) and macOS, and mention appropriate text editors (e.g., nano, vi).
- Clarify whether Azure PowerShell modules (Az, AzureRM) can be used on PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS, and provide examples.
- Add troubleshooting and verification steps using Linux/macOS command-line tools (e.g., ping, nslookup).
- State any platform limitations or requirements up front, so users can plan accordingly.
