Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows-centric technologies and patterns, such as ASP.NET, ADFS, web.config, and PowerShell commands. All code samples and configuration examples are for Windows/.NET environments, with no mention of Linux, macOS, or cross-platform equivalents. Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell, web.config) are referenced exclusively, and critical security mitigations are described only in terms of Windows frameworks and configuration files.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent examples for Linux and macOS environments, such as using NGINX/Apache for session/cookie management.
  • Include cross-platform frameworks (e.g., Node.js, Python Flask/Django, Java Spring) in code samples for session management and CSRF mitigation.
  • Reference configuration files and patterns used on Linux (e.g., nginx.conf, .env files) alongside web.config.
  • Offer guidance for implementing security features (logout, secure cookies, CSRF protection) in non-Windows stacks.
  • Replace or supplement PowerShell commands with bash/shell alternatives where possible.
  • Clarify which mitigations are specific to Windows/.NET and which are general best practices.
