Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All certificate import instructions and screenshots are exclusively for Windows, with no mention of Linux or macOS workflows. PowerShell and Windows-specific tools (e.g., Chocolatey) are referenced for installing and using openssl, and all command-line examples are shown in PowerShell with Windows file paths. There are no Linux or cross-platform instructions for certificate management, despite openssl being a cross-platform tool.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel instructions and screenshots for Linux (and optionally macOS) users, especially for importing certificates into system stores.
  • Provide openssl installation steps for Linux (e.g., using apt, yum, or other package managers) alongside the Chocolatey/Windows instructions.
  • Show command-line examples using bash or generic shell syntax, not just PowerShell, and use platform-neutral file paths where possible.
  • Clarify in each section whether the steps apply to Windows only or if there are alternative steps for other operating systems.
  • Reference Linux certificate stores (such as /etc/ssl/certs or update-ca-certificates) and provide guidance for importing certificates on Linux clients.
