windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation presents Active Directory (a Windows-centric directory service) as the first and most detailed option for configuring directory services, with Linux/UNIX options (flat file and LDAP) described afterward. The AD section is more prominent and detailed, and there is no mention of Linux-native tools or examples beyond referencing /etc/passwd and /etc/group files. There are no command-line examples for Linux or Windows, but the ordering and focus suggest a Windows/AD bias.
Recommendations:
- Reorder the directory service options to avoid always listing Active Directory first; consider listing LDAP or flat file first, or presenting all options equally.
- Expand the flat file and LDAP sections with more detailed configuration steps and troubleshooting tips, matching the depth of the Active Directory section.
- Include example commands or scripts for generating and securely transferring /etc/passwd and /etc/group files from Linux systems.
- Mention common Linux directory service tools (such as sssd, nsswitch.conf, or openldap) where relevant.
- Clarify that both Windows (AD) and Linux/UNIX (flat file, LDAP) directory services are fully supported and provide guidance for mixed environments.
