Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments and PowerShell usage. All examples, instructions, and screenshots assume a Windows client, with explicit requirements for Windows PowerShell 5.1. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents, nor any mention of how to perform these tasks on non-Windows platforms. Windows-specific tools (Notepad, hosts file location, ping.exe) are referenced exclusively, and certificate management steps are described only for Windows. This creates significant friction for Linux/macOS users, who are left without guidance.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions and examples for Linux and macOS clients, including certificate creation/import using OpenSSL and OS-native tools.
  • Provide PowerShell Core (pwsh) guidance for cross-platform scenarios, clarifying which steps work on non-Windows systems.
  • Include hosts file modification steps for Linux/macOS (e.g., /etc/hosts), and suggest appropriate editors (nano, vim, etc.).
  • Replace or supplement Windows-only screenshots and file paths with cross-platform alternatives.
  • Clarify whether Azure PowerShell modules and authentication steps are supported on Linux/macOS, and provide troubleshooting guidance for those platforms.
