Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows environments, specifically referencing Windows-only tools (AD FS Management snap-in, Event Viewer, Server Manager) and PowerShell cmdlets for configuration and troubleshooting. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives or examples provided for key steps such as certificate creation, AD FS management, or log inspection. All procedural instructions assume a Windows server environment and do not mention or address Linux-based AD FS alternatives or how to interact with AD FS from non-Windows systems.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent command-line or UI instructions for managing AD FS from non-Windows environments, if possible (e.g., via REST APIs, if available).
- Include examples for certificate creation and management using cross-platform tools such as OpenSSL.
- Document how to interact with AD FS from Linux or macOS clients, or clarify that AD FS is a Windows-only technology if that is the case.
- For PowerShell commands, suggest alternatives using cross-platform scripting or remote management tools, or note the requirement for Windows.
- Where troubleshooting steps reference Windows Event Viewer, suggest how to access logs remotely or via command-line tools that may be available on other platforms.
- Clearly state any platform limitations early in the documentation, and provide guidance for users on non-Windows platforms.
