Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on ASP.NET, ADFS, and Windows-centric technologies, with all code/configuration examples using Windows-specific frameworks (ASP.NET, MVC, Web Forms) and configuration files (web.config). There are no examples or guidance for Linux/macOS web stacks (e.g., Node.js, Python, Java, Nginx/Apache), nor any mention of cross-platform equivalents for session management, cookies, or CSRF mitigation. PowerShell is referenced for ADFS configuration, with no alternative for non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Add examples for popular Linux/macOS web frameworks (e.g., Express.js, Django, Flask, Spring Boot) showing how to configure secure cookies, session timeouts, and CSRF protection.
  • Include generic HTTP header and cookie configuration guidance applicable to any platform, not just web.config/ASP.NET.
  • Provide parity for ADFS/PowerShell steps by mentioning SAML/OAuth/OpenID Connect logout/session management for cross-platform identity providers.
  • Reference cross-platform tools and libraries for session management and CSRF mitigation (e.g., OWASP CSRFGuard, helmet.js, Django CSRF middleware).
  • Clarify which mitigations are Windows/.NET-specific and which are generally applicable, to help non-Windows developers understand what is relevant.
