Summary
The documentation is strongly biased toward Windows environments, assuming the use of Active Directory, Windows Server, and Windows-specific tools (certtmpl.msc, Internet Explorer, Internet Options, Windows certificate export wizard). No Linux or cross-platform alternatives are mentioned for certificate creation, request, or export. The prerequisites and workflow are tightly coupled to Windows infrastructure, making it difficult for Linux/macOS users to follow or replicate the process.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent steps for Linux/macOS environments, such as using OpenSSL for certificate creation and export.
  • Mention cross-platform certificate authorities and workflows (e.g., using OpenSSL, cfssl, or other PKI tools).
  • Include examples for requesting and exporting certificates via command line or browser-agnostic methods.
  • Clarify which steps are Windows-specific and offer alternatives where possible.
  • Reorder examples so that platform-neutral or Linux/macOS methods are presented alongside or before Windows-specific instructions.
