Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, especially in sections related to SQL Server authentication, WCF/MSMQ, and certificate management. Windows Authentication is recommended as the default for SQL Server, with little mention of Linux alternatives. WCF/MSMQ examples and configuration are inherently Windows-centric, and certificate guidance refers to Windows Server certificate services and MakeCert.exe. There is a lack of Linux/macOS-specific examples or guidance, and Windows-based tools and patterns are mentioned before cross-platform or open-source equivalents.
Recommendations
- Include equivalent Linux/macOS authentication patterns and examples, such as Kerberos integration for SQL Server on Linux.
- Provide guidance for certificate management using cross-platform tools like OpenSSL, especially in sections currently referencing Windows Server certificate services or MakeCert.exe.
- Add examples for securing services using Linux-native mechanisms (e.g., PAM, SELinux, systemd) where appropriate.
- For WCF/MSMQ, clarify platform limitations and suggest alternatives for cross-platform messaging and authentication (e.g., RabbitMQ, gRPC, or other open standards).
- Ensure that examples and recommendations are presented in a platform-neutral order, or provide parallel examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS.
