Summary
The documentation page 'Secure your Microsoft Entra identity infrastructure' demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Several sections reference Windows-centric tools (e.g., AD FS, Windows Hello for Business, password protection for Windows Server Active Directory) and patterns, often without mentioning Linux/macOS equivalents or alternatives. Examples and recommendations for credential protection, authentication, and monitoring are generally described in a platform-neutral way, but where platform-specific details are provided, Windows tools and features are referenced first or exclusively. There are no explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples, nor are Linux-specific identity integration scenarios discussed.
Recommendations
- Where Windows-specific features (e.g., AD FS, Windows Hello for Business) are mentioned, clarify their platform scope and, where possible, provide links or notes about Linux/macOS alternatives (e.g., SSSD, PAM, FIDO2 support on Linux, or third-party federation solutions).
- Include examples or guidance for integrating Linux/macOS systems with Microsoft Entra ID, such as using SAML, OAuth, or OpenID Connect for Single Sign-On, or leveraging cross-platform passwordless authentication methods.
- When discussing password protection, monitoring, and provisioning, note any platform limitations and provide parity guidance for non-Windows environments.
- Add references to open standards and cross-platform tools where relevant (e.g., FIDO2 keys, Authenticator apps available on all platforms).
- Consider adding a section or appendix for Linux/macOS administrators outlining best practices for securing Entra-integrated identities on those platforms.
