Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-specific tools (such as Server Manager and AD FS Management MMC), and does not provide any Linux-based alternatives or command-line instructions for managing AD FS. All configuration steps for AD FS are described using GUI tools available only on Windows Server, with no mention of PowerShell, CLI, or cross-platform approaches. There are no Linux or non-Windows examples for AD FS setup, and the documentation implicitly assumes the administrator is operating in a Windows environment.
Recommendations
- Provide PowerShell command-line equivalents for all AD FS configuration steps, as PowerShell can be run on Windows Server Core and remotely.
- Explicitly mention that AD FS is a Windows Server feature, but clarify what steps (if any) can be performed from non-Windows environments (e.g., via remote PowerShell, REST APIs, or Azure CLI).
- If possible, reference or link to any open-source or third-party tools that allow AD FS management from Linux or macOS, or clarify that such options are not available.
- Add a note early in the prerequisites section stating that AD FS management is only supported on Windows Server, and suggest alternatives for Linux-based identity providers if relevant.
- Where possible, provide parity by showing how to configure a generic OpenID Connect provider using Linux-based identity solutions (such as Keycloak or IdentityServer) as a comparative example.
