Summary
The documentation references the IIS Gateway module as the source of the security issue, which is a Windows-specific technology. There is no mention of Linux equivalents or how the issue might manifest or be mitigated in Linux-based HDInsight clusters. No Linux-specific troubleshooting steps or examples are provided, and the documentation implicitly assumes a Windows-centric deployment by focusing on IIS.
Recommendations
  • Clarify whether the security issue with the ':' character in the namespace is specific to IIS Gateway (Windows) or also applies to Linux-based HDInsight clusters.
  • If Linux-based clusters are not affected, explicitly state this and provide guidance for Linux users.
  • If Linux-based clusters have a similar issue, describe the equivalent Linux gateway/module and how to troubleshoot or mitigate the problem.
  • Provide examples or troubleshooting steps for both Windows and Linux deployments to ensure parity.
  • Avoid assuming IIS Gateway as the default; mention alternatives or how the REST API behaves in non-Windows environments.
