Summary
The documentation page for Azure HDInsight ID Broker (HIB) demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. The architecture and authentication infrastructure are described as running on a Windows Server VM, with no mention of Linux alternatives or parity. Windows-centric tools (Active Directory Federation Services, Microsoft Entra Domain Services) are referenced exclusively. While some examples (e.g., curl) are cross-platform, the underlying infrastructure and administrative patterns are Windows-focused, and Linux-specific guidance is missing.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether the HDInsight ID Broker node can run on Linux, or clarify why Windows Server is required.
- Provide guidance for Linux/macOS administrators on managing and troubleshooting the ID Broker node.
- Include Linux-specific examples for SSH, Kerberos, and client integration (e.g., using kinit, keytab, or Linux-based automation).
- Mention Linux equivalents or alternatives to Windows tools (such as AD FS), or clarify if none exist.
- Ensure parity in troubleshooting and operational instructions for non-Windows environments.
