Summary
The documentation page on X.509 Certificate-based Authentication in a Service Fabric Cluster exhibits a moderate Windows bias. While the conceptual explanations are platform-neutral, practical details, troubleshooting, and examples often reference Windows-specific tools, APIs, and patterns (e.g., certificate stores like LocalMachine\My, Win32 CryptoAPI, CAPI1/CNG providers, and event log paths). Linux equivalents are mentioned only briefly or as afterthoughts, and there are no concrete Linux/macOS command-line or troubleshooting examples. This may create friction for Linux users, especially when diagnosing issues or configuring certificates.
Recommendations
- Include explicit Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows-specific instructions, such as certificate store locations, certificate management commands, and log file paths.
- Provide Linux/macOS command-line examples for common tasks (e.g., using openssl, certutil, or other cross-platform tools to manage certificates).
- Clarify how Service Fabric on Linux handles certificate discovery, validation, and storage, especially where it differs from Windows (e.g., /var/lib/sfcerts vs. LocalMachine\My).
- Add troubleshooting steps and error messages relevant to Linux environments, including where to find logs and how to interpret common errors.
- When referencing Windows APIs or tools (e.g., Win32 CryptoAPI, CAPI1), provide context or alternatives for Linux users, or note if certain features are Windows-only.
