Summary
The documentation provides detailed conceptual and configuration guidance for X.509 certificate-based authentication in Service Fabric clusters, but exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific terminology and tools (e.g., 'LocalMachine\My' certificate store, Win32 CryptoAPI, CAPI2 logging, error codes, and troubleshooting steps) are mentioned first or exclusively in several places. Linux equivalents are referenced only briefly or parenthetically, and there are no concrete Linux-specific examples or troubleshooting steps. This may create friction for Linux users, especially when interpreting certificate store paths, error diagnostics, or when following troubleshooting advice.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples alongside Windows ones, especially for certificate store paths (e.g., expand on the mention of '/var/lib/sfcerts').
- Include Linux troubleshooting steps and log locations, not just Windows Event Log and CAPI2 logging.
- When referencing Windows APIs (e.g., Win32 CryptoAPI), clarify the equivalent behavior or configuration on Linux.
- List Linux and Windows paths/tools in parallel, not just as parentheticals after Windows-first explanations.
- Add a section or callouts for common Linux-specific certificate issues and how to resolve them.
