Summary
The documentation provides both Ubuntu and Windows instructions for installing CA certificates, but Windows instructions are generally more detailed, include multiple methods (PowerShell, certlm GUI, .NET API), and mention Windows-specific tools (Schannel, certlm, Import-Certificate) before or in greater depth than Linux equivalents. The .NET section emphasizes Windows parity, and Windows-specific TLS stack (Schannel) is discussed in detail, while Linux alternatives are mentioned only briefly. There is no explicit Linux bias, but the Windows ecosystem receives more attention and tool coverage.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux (and macOS, if relevant) instructions are as detailed as Windows, including multiple methods (e.g., using update-ca-certificates, trust, or keytool for Java).
- Provide parity in troubleshooting and tool references: mention Linux TLS stack details (e.g., OpenSSL, GnuTLS) and how to verify certificate installation on Linux.
- In .NET and C SDK sections, clarify Linux-specific behaviors and provide Linux-oriented code/configuration examples where appropriate.
- When listing tools or methods, alternate the order or present Linux and Windows approaches side by side to avoid 'Windows first' bias.
- Expand on Linux-specific certificate management (e.g., using update-ca-certificates, trust anchors, or Java's cacerts) and provide links to official documentation.
- Where Windows tools like certlm or Schannel are mentioned, provide equivalent Linux commands or references (e.g., update-ca-certificates, openssl, or system trust store locations).
