Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. It references Windows-specific certificate export defaults (3DES from Windows 10/Server 2016), mandates the Microsoft RSA/Schannel Cryptographic Provider (Windows-only), and directs users to create certificates via Azure PowerShell cmdlets and the Azure Stack Hub Readiness Checker tool (both Windows-centric). There are no Linux/macOS equivalent instructions, nor are cross-platform tools or OpenSSL mentioned.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS certificate creation and export instructions using OpenSSL or other cross-platform tools.
  • Clarify whether the Microsoft RSA/Schannel Cryptographic Provider requirement is strictly necessary, or suggest alternatives for non-Windows environments.
  • Include examples of exporting PFX certificates from Linux/macOS, specifying compatible encryption and key attributes.
  • List cross-platform methods for meeting certificate requirements, not just Windows PowerShell and Readiness Checker tool.
  • Reorder sections to present platform-neutral guidance first, or present Windows and Linux/macOS options side-by-side.
