Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing instructions and examples that assume the user is on a Windows client. Specifically, it instructs users to edit the Windows hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts), and the certificate installation steps are only described for Windows (using the Certificate Import Wizard and 'Local machine' store). There are no equivalent instructions or examples for Linux or macOS users, nor is there any mention of how to perform these steps on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions for Linux and macOS users, including the location and editing of the /etc/hosts file.
  • Describe how to install the downloaded certificate on Linux (e.g., using update-ca-certificates or similar tools) and macOS.
  • Avoid assuming the client is always Windows; use neutral language or present Windows and Linux/macOS steps side-by-side.
  • Include screenshots or command-line examples for Linux/macOS where appropriate.
  • Explicitly state platform requirements or limitations if certain features are only available on Windows.
