Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While it discusses Service Fabric's cross-platform certificate-based authentication, it consistently references Windows-specific tools, APIs, and patterns (e.g., certificate stores like LocalMachine\My, Win32 CryptoAPI, CAPI1/CNG providers, and Windows event logs) before or instead of Linux equivalents. Troubleshooting and configuration examples focus on Windows, with only brief or parenthetical mentions of Linux paths. There are no explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples or troubleshooting steps.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux/macOS examples for certificate storage, retrieval, and troubleshooting (e.g., show how to locate certificates in /var/lib/sfcerts, use OpenSSL or Linux-native tools for diagnostics).
- When referencing certificate stores, always mention both Windows and Linux equivalents side-by-side, not just as a parenthetical note.
- Provide Linux/macOS-specific troubleshooting steps, such as relevant log file locations, commands to check certificate permissions, and how to manage private keys.
- If referencing Windows APIs (e.g., CertGetCertificateChain), clarify the Linux equivalent or note if the behavior is abstracted in Service Fabric.
- Include examples of how to create or rotate certificates using cross-platform tools (e.g., OpenSSL) rather than only referencing Windows certificate providers.
- Mention any platform-specific limitations or differences explicitly, so Linux/macOS users are aware of what applies to them.
