Summary:
The documentation provides only a C# code example for generating the client secret JWT, which relies on Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens and CngKey (Windows-specific cryptography APIs). There are no examples or guidance for Linux users or for using cross-platform tools (such as OpenSSL, Python, or Node.js). This may make it difficult for developers working on non-Windows platforms to follow the instructions.
Recommendations:
- Add examples for generating and signing the JWT client secret using cross-platform tools such as OpenSSL, Python (e.g., PyJWT), or Node.js (e.g., jsonwebtoken).
- Mention and provide code snippets for Linux/macOS environments, ensuring that users on those platforms can easily follow the steps.
- Avoid relying solely on Windows-specific libraries (e.g., CngKey, ECDsaCng) in code samples; if C# is used, show alternatives that work on .NET Core/.NET 5+ on Linux.
- Explicitly state that the process can be completed on any OS, and link to or reference platform-agnostic JWT generation resources.
