Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Certificate management instructions and examples are almost exclusively Windows-centric, referencing Windows Certificate Manager (certmgr.exe), Windows certificate stores, and PowerShell scripts for certificate inspection. The prerequisite steps for on-premises gateway installation require .NET Framework, a Windows-only technology. No Linux or macOS equivalents or instructions are provided for certificate management, gateway installation, or troubleshooting, and all examples use Windows tools first or exclusively.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for certificate management, such as using openssl, keytool, or Linux certificate stores.
  • Include instructions for installing and configuring the on-premises data gateway on Linux (if supported), or clarify Windows-only requirements.
  • Add troubleshooting steps and examples for Linux environments, including how to inspect certificate stores and manage certificates.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, offer alternative bash or shell commands for Linux/macOS users.
  • Clearly indicate platform limitations and offer guidance for cross-platform scenarios.
