Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All certificate management steps rely on Windows-specific tools (certtmpl.msc, Internet Explorer, Windows Certificate Export Wizard), and prerequisites assume Active Directory and Windows CA infrastructure. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives or examples provided for certificate creation, request, or export. The workflow is not accessible to administrators using Linux or non-Windows PKI solutions.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent instructions for Linux environments, such as using OpenSSL for certificate requests and exports.
- Include examples for managing certificates with non-Windows CAs (e.g., OpenSSL, EJBCA, or HashiCorp Vault).
- Describe how to interact with Azure Key Vault and import certificates using CLI tools available on Linux (e.g., Azure CLI, REST API).
- Avoid assuming the use of Internet Explorer or Windows Certificate Export Wizard; offer browser-agnostic or command-line alternatives.
- Clarify which steps are Windows-specific and provide cross-platform alternatives wherever possible.
