Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias by exclusively referencing Microsoft Active Directory as the only supported LDAP server, focusing on Windows-centric LDAP schemas and tools, and providing command-line examples (such as nslookup) in a Windows context first. Linux/UNIX alternatives are mentioned only minimally or as secondary options, and there are no Linux-specific configuration examples or guidance for common Linux LDAP servers (e.g., OpenLDAP).
Recommendations:
- Explicitly mention that only Microsoft Active Directory is currently supported, but clarify if or when support for other LDAP servers (such as OpenLDAP) may be planned.
- Provide parallel Linux/UNIX command-line examples (e.g., using dig, ldapsearch) alongside Windows examples for querying LDAP service records and troubleshooting.
- Include a section or note about how Linux/UNIX administrators can integrate with Azure NetApp Files in environments where Active Directory is the LDAP provider, including any required schema extensions or tools.
- Balance the discussion of LDAP schemas and attributes by referencing both Windows (AD) and common Linux/UNIX LDAP schemas (such as RFC 2307 in OpenLDAP).
- Where possible, avoid presenting Windows tools or patterns first; instead, offer cross-platform guidance or alternate between Windows and Linux/UNIX approaches.
