Summary
The documentation is largely cross-platform, using Azure CLI and OpenSSL for most examples, which are platform-agnostic or Linux-friendly. However, there is a subtle Windows bias in the 'Export certificate to PFX' section, where Windows tools (IIS, Certreq.exe) are mentioned as alternatives to OpenSSL, and the export process for Windows is referenced with a link to a Windows Server-specific guide. The Windows tools are mentioned after OpenSSL, but no explicit Linux-only tools or workflows are described. There are no PowerShell-specific examples, but the documentation assumes familiarity with Windows certificate management tools for users who did not use OpenSSL.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux workflows for certificate export, such as using OpenSSL or other Linux-native tools, and clarify that OpenSSL commands work on both Linux and Windows.
  • When referencing Windows-specific tools (IIS, Certreq.exe), provide equivalent Linux guidance or links for users who generated certificates on Linux systems.
  • Consider adding a note or section that highlights cross-platform compatibility, and explicitly mention that all Azure CLI and OpenSSL commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • If mentioning Windows tools, ensure Linux alternatives are mentioned with equal prominence and detail.
