Summary
The documentation provides detailed PowerShell examples for acquiring authentication tokens using the MSAL.PS module, which is Windows-centric. There are no equivalent examples for Linux/macOS users (e.g., using Bash, curl, or Python), and the PowerShell approach is presented before any mention of cross-platform alternatives. The Azure CLI example is present, but the PowerShell section is much more extensive, and no Linux-native tools or scripts are demonstrated for token acquisition.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples for Linux/macOS users, such as using curl, Python (requests + MSAL), or Bash scripts to acquire OAuth tokens.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform alternatives to PowerShell, and clarify which examples work on all platforms.
- Reorder examples so that cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, REST API via curl) are shown before or alongside PowerShell.
- Note any platform-specific limitations for the MSAL.PS module and provide guidance for non-Windows users.
