Summary
The documentation is generally cross-platform and describes Service Fabric's X.509 certificate authentication in an OS-neutral way. However, there are several subtle Windows biases: Windows certificate store paths and tools are mentioned first or exclusively in some places, troubleshooting instructions and error logs reference Windows event logs and Win32 APIs, and Linux-specific equivalents are only briefly mentioned or omitted. There are no PowerShell-heavy examples, but Windows-centric patterns and terminology are more prominent.
Recommendations
  • Wherever the Windows certificate store (e.g., LocalMachine\My) is referenced, explicitly mention the Linux equivalent (e.g., /var/lib/sfcerts) each time, not just once.
  • In troubleshooting sections, provide Linux log file paths and diagnostic steps alongside Windows Event Log instructions.
  • When referencing Windows-specific APIs (e.g., Win32 CryptoAPI), clarify how equivalent functionality is handled on Linux, or note if not applicable.
  • If there are differences in certificate provisioning or management between Windows and Linux nodes, provide parallel examples or links to Linux-specific guidance.
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS troubleshooting tips for common certificate issues (e.g., permissions, file locations, service restarts).
