Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias in several areas: the per-app private client certificate method is explicitly limited to Windows code apps, with no Linux equivalent or workaround provided. All example commands for certificate inspection and creation use PowerShell, and the Kudu console instructions reference only Windows tooling. There are no Linux shell or OpenSSL examples for certificate management or verification. The documentation also presents Windows-specific methods and limitations before clarifying Linux support, and does not offer parity for Linux users in critical scenarios.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux instructions for certificate inspection (e.g., using OpenSSL or Linux shell commands).
- Add examples for generating and exporting certificates on Linux/macOS (e.g., using OpenSSL).
- Clarify alternative approaches for Linux apps where the private client certificate method is not supported.
- Explicitly state limitations and possible workarounds for Linux users in sections where only Windows is supported.
- Where possible, present cross-platform instructions or clearly separate Windows and Linux guidance.
