Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias, especially in the 'How-to guide' sections for generating symmetric and asymmetric keys. PowerShell is exclusively used for key and certificate generation, with no Linux/macOS alternatives (e.g., OpenSSL) provided. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned first and exclusively, and the GitHub samples referenced are .NET/ASP.NET-centric, which are more common on Windows. Linux/macOS users are left to infer or research their own solutions for key/certificate generation and related tasks.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS command-line examples for key and certificate generation (e.g., OpenSSL for symmetric keys and self-signed certificates).
  • Mention cross-platform tools and approaches before or alongside Windows-specific ones.
  • Reference sample code in other languages/platforms (e.g., Node.js, Python) where possible.
  • Explicitly state that the PowerShell examples are Windows-specific and offer alternatives for other OSes.
