Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Active Directory (a Windows-centric technology) in both order and detail, providing examples and terminology specific to Windows (e.g., DOMAIN\user), and omitting Linux-specific authentication examples or tools. While LDAP is mentioned, no Linux-focused examples or guidance are provided, and the only explicit mention of Linux is in the context of SSH keys for cluster nodes, not authentication setup.
Recommendations:
- Add Linux-focused authentication examples, such as integrating with OpenLDAP or other common Linux directory services, including example configurations.
- Provide sample user login formats for both Windows (DOMAIN\user) and Linux (uid=user,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com) environments.
- Include references to Linux-native tools and commands (e.g., ldapsearch, kinit, or PAM configuration) where relevant.
- Balance the order of sections by presenting generic LDAP or Linux-compatible authentication options before or alongside Active Directory.
- Clarify that Active Directory is not the only enterprise authentication option, and provide parity in troubleshooting and configuration guidance for Linux environments.
