Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: it relies heavily on PowerShell cmdlets for credential management, references Windows-specific technologies like DPAPI and Windows Firewall, and provides no equivalent Linux examples or guidance. The documentation assumes the use of Windows tools and patterns for on-premises integration runtime scenarios, with no mention of Linux alternatives or parity.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux-based examples for credential management, such as using Bash scripts or Linux command-line tools.
  • Document how to install and operate the self-hosted integration runtime on Linux (if supported), including credential encryption and storage mechanisms.
  • Reference Linux firewall configuration (e.g., iptables, firewalld, ufw) alongside Windows Firewall, and provide port configuration instructions for both platforms.
  • Clarify whether DPAPI is required or if there is a cross-platform alternative for credential encryption on non-Windows hosts.
  • Include Linux-specific troubleshooting and configuration steps wherever Windows-specific instructions are given.
  • Where PowerShell cmdlets are used, offer REST API or CLI alternatives that are platform-agnostic.
