Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows/SMB and Active Directory scenarios, referencing Windows-specific tools and features (e.g., Group Policy, registry settings), and omitting concrete Linux/NFS client configuration examples. Windows terminology and tools are introduced first and in more detail, while Linux/UNIX equivalents are only briefly mentioned or not elaborated upon.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel Linux/NFS client configuration examples for encryption, including step-by-step instructions for enabling NFS Kerberos security flavors on common Linux distributions.
- Include Linux-based LDAP client configuration guidance (e.g., using sssd, nslcd, or OpenLDAP tools) for LDAP signing and StartTLS, not just Windows Active Directory scenarios.
- Balance the order of presentation: introduce SMB (Windows) and NFS (Linux/UNIX) encryption methods with equal prominence and detail.
- Reference Linux/UNIX tools and commands (e.g., kinit, mount options, ldapsearch with StartTLS) alongside Windows tools like Group Policy.
- Add troubleshooting tips and performance considerations for both Windows and Linux clients.
- Clarify which features are cross-platform and which are Windows-specific, to help non-Windows administrators understand applicability.
