Summary:
The documentation provides both Ubuntu and Windows instructions for installing certificates, but Windows instructions are consistently presented after Ubuntu. However, the Windows section is more detailed, offering multiple methods (PowerShell, certlm GUI, .NET APIs), while the Ubuntu section only covers the standard CLI method. The Windows instructions reference specific tools (PowerShell Import-Certificate, certlm, Schannel) and provide more context about the Windows TLS stack. There is no explicit omission of Linux examples, but the Windows ecosystem is described in greater depth, and more Windows-specific tooling is mentioned.
Recommendations:
- Expand the Ubuntu/Linux section to include alternative certificate installation methods (e.g., using update-ca-trust on RHEL/CentOS, or using GUI tools like GNOME Certificates).
- Provide parity in troubleshooting and background information for Linux, such as mentioning OpenSSL, NSS, or GnuTLS as common TLS stacks and how they interact with the OS certificate store.
- Add examples for programmatic certificate installation on Linux (e.g., using shell scripts or with .NET APIs on Linux).
- Where Windows-specific tools are mentioned (e.g., certlm, Schannel), provide Linux equivalents (e.g., update-ca-certificates, OpenSSL) and explain their roles.
- Ensure that all language-specific SDK instructions clarify any OS-specific steps or differences, especially for .NET and C, which may behave differently on Linux vs. Windows.
