Reference X509 Certificates - Document Details

Bias Analysis

Bias Types:

⚠️ windows_first

⚠️ powershell_heavy

Summary:

The documentation is generally cross-platform and uses OpenSSL (a cross-platform tool) and Bash shell commands for most certificate operations, which is favorable for Linux users. However, in the 'Verify certificate manually after upload' section, the PowerShell script option is listed first, and the Bash script is mentioned second. This ordering, along with explicit mention of PowerShell, subtly prioritizes Windows workflows. There is also a reference to a PowerShell script 'supplied by Microsoft' without a corresponding mention of a native Linux tool or parity in script support.

Recommendations:

List Bash/Linux examples before or alongside PowerShell/Windows examples to avoid implying Windows is the primary or preferred platform.
Ensure that any scripts or tools supplied by Microsoft for Windows (e.g., PowerShell scripts) have equivalent, well-documented Linux/Bash versions, and mention them equally.
Explicitly state that all steps can be performed on both Windows and Linux, and clarify any platform-specific requirements.
Where possible, provide cross-platform scripts (e.g., in Python or as Docker containers) to further reduce platform bias.
Review future documentation to ensure that Windows-specific tools or workflows are not given priority unless there is a technical reason.
