Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only PowerShell examples for certificate creation and management, referencing Windows-specific certificate stores and tools, and explicitly stating that certain features (private client certificates) are only supported in Windows code apps. There are no equivalent Linux or cross-platform instructions or examples, and the use of Windows-centric terminology (e.g., Cert:\LocalMachine\Root) further excludes Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux examples for certificate creation (e.g., using OpenSSL) and management.
- Include instructions for accessing and managing certificates on Linux-based App Service apps, or clarify platform limitations.
- Use cross-platform terminology and tools where possible, or clearly separate instructions for Windows and Linux scenarios.
- Explicitly state platform support at the beginning of relevant sections to set user expectations.
- Offer Bash or CLI alternatives to PowerShell commands for parity.
