Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows authentication as a primary authentication method, providing examples and instructions that assume a Windows environment (such as domain\username format), and exclusively mentioning Windows-specific tools and configuration steps (e.g., SQL Server Management Studio, SQL Server Configuration Manager, Windows Firewall) in troubleshooting. There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform instructions provided, and Linux authentication scenarios are not discussed.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit mention and examples for Linux-based authentication scenarios (e.g., using SQL authentication from Linux hosts, Kerberos/Active Directory integration on Linux).
  • Include troubleshooting steps and tools relevant to Linux environments, such as how to configure network access, firewalls (iptables, firewalld, ufw), and connectivity testing from Linux machines.
  • When referencing tools like SQL Server Management Studio or Configuration Manager, also mention cross-platform alternatives (e.g., Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd) and provide equivalent instructions.
  • Avoid assuming the use of Windows domain accounts in examples; provide generic or Linux-compatible examples where possible.
  • Clarify any platform-specific limitations or requirements, and provide guidance for both Windows and Linux users.
