Summary
The documentation provides a thorough conceptual overview of X.509 certificate-based authentication in Service Fabric clusters, but exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows terminology, tools, and patterns are mentioned first or exclusively in several areas (e.g., certificate store paths, troubleshooting logs, API calls). Linux equivalents are referenced only briefly or as afterthoughts, and there are no concrete Linux/macOS-specific configuration or troubleshooting examples. This may create friction for non-Windows users attempting to implement or debug certificate-based authentication.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux/macOS examples for certificate storage paths, certificate management, and troubleshooting steps (e.g., where to find logs, how to check certificate presence/permissions on Linux).
- When referencing certificate stores (e.g., LocalMachine\My), always include the Linux equivalent (e.g., /var/lib/sfcerts) in the same sentence or in parallel examples.
- For troubleshooting, add guidance on where to find Service Fabric logs on Linux, and how to enable equivalent detailed logging (since CAPI2 and Windows Event Viewer are Windows-specific).
- When mentioning API calls or configuration flags (e.g., Win32 CryptoAPI, CertGetCertificateChain), clarify their applicability to Windows and provide Linux-specific notes or alternatives if available.
- Ensure that all example XML snippets and configuration walkthroughs explicitly mention any differences or additional steps required for Linux clusters.
