Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All certificate import instructions are exclusively for Windows clients, using Windows UI and terminology. The only guidance for installing openssl is via Windows tools (Chocolatey and PowerShell), and all command-line examples are shown in PowerShell with Windows paths. There are no Linux or macOS examples or instructions for certificate management, import, or openssl installation, despite the cross-platform relevance of these tasks.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions and screenshots for Linux and macOS clients, including certificate import steps using common tools (e.g., update-ca-certificates, certutil, or keychain access).
  • Include openssl installation instructions for Linux (e.g., apt, yum, dnf) and macOS (e.g., Homebrew).
  • Show command-line examples in a cross-platform way (e.g., using bash syntax and Linux/macOS file paths, not just PowerShell and Windows paths).
  • Clarify in each section whether the steps are specific to Windows, and provide equivalent steps for other platforms.
  • Ensure that references to certificate stores and file formats are explained in a platform-neutral way, or provide platform-specific details as needed.
