Summary
The documentation provides a thorough conceptual overview of X.509 certificate-based authentication in Service Fabric clusters, but exhibits mild Windows bias. Windows terminology and tools (e.g., certificate store paths like 'LocalMachine\My', references to Win32 CryptoAPI, and event log locations) are mentioned first or exclusively. Troubleshooting sections focus on Windows event logs and CAPI2 logging, with no equivalent Linux guidance. While Linux paths are briefly mentioned (e.g., '/var/lib/sfcerts'), Windows-centric examples and APIs dominate, creating friction for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific examples for certificate store locations, certificate management, and troubleshooting (e.g., relevant log files, commands for viewing certificates).
- When referencing Windows tools or APIs (e.g., CertGetCertificateChain, CAPI2 logging), provide Linux equivalents or clarify if the guidance is Windows-only.
- Ensure troubleshooting steps include Linux/macOS guidance, such as how to access Service Fabric logs, check certificate permissions, and validate certificate chains.
- Where possible, present cross-platform examples side-by-side, or note differences in behavior and configuration between Windows and Linux clusters.
