Summary
The documentation provides detailed PowerShell examples for acquiring authentication tokens using the MSAL.PS module, which is Windows-centric. There are no equivalent examples for Linux/macOS users (e.g., using Bash, curl, or Python), and the PowerShell approach is presented before any cross-platform alternatives. The only cross-platform example is Azure CLI, which is brief and lacks parity with the PowerShell section.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux/macOS examples using curl, Bash, or Python for acquiring OAuth tokens.
- Expand the Azure CLI section to cover all authentication scenarios shown in PowerShell (user credentials, device code, app credentials).
- Clearly indicate which tools are cross-platform and provide guidance for non-Windows users.
- Consider reordering examples so that cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, REST/curl) are presented before Windows-specific tools.
