Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All certificate management steps rely on Windows-specific tools (e.g., certtmpl.msc, Internet Explorer, Active Directory Certification Services), and there are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives provided. The instructions assume a Windows Server environment and do not mention how to perform equivalent tasks on Linux or with open-source tools. The workflow is tightly coupled to Windows administrative patterns and omits any mention of Linux-based PKI solutions or command-line alternatives.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux/OpenSSL-based instructions for generating and exporting CA certificates.
- Mention and, where possible, demonstrate how to use cross-platform tools (such as OpenSSL, certbot, or cfssl) for certificate creation and management.
- Include guidance for organizations using Linux-based PKI (e.g., Dogtag, EJBCA) or cloud-native CA services.
- Avoid assuming the use of Internet Explorer or Windows-specific certificate stores; offer browser-agnostic or CLI-based certificate export/import steps.
- Structure the documentation so that Windows and Linux approaches are presented in parallel, or at least mention Linux alternatives where Windows tools are referenced.
