Summary
The documentation page is largely platform-neutral in its technical content, focusing on XML configuration and SAML protocol details. However, in the 'Debug SAML protocol' section, it lists Windows-specific tools (Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer developer tools) alongside browser extensions, and provides a link to a Microsoft blog post about using Edge/IE developer tools. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform debugging tool examples given, nor is there mention of command-line tools or approaches common on Linux (such as curl, openssl, or SAML-specific CLI utilities). The order of tool presentation also puts Microsoft/Windows tools last, but their inclusion without Linux equivalents suggests a mild Windows bias.
Recommendations
- Add examples or references to Linux-compatible SAML debugging tools, such as using curl, openssl, or SAML-specific CLI tools (e.g., saml2aws, xmlsec1) for inspecting SAML messages.
- Mention browser extensions as cross-platform tools more prominently, emphasizing their availability on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- If referencing developer tools for browsers, clarify that Chrome and Firefox DevTools are available on Linux and macOS as well.
- Consider adding a section or note on how to capture and inspect SAML traffic using command-line tools or network analyzers (e.g., tcpdump, Wireshark) on Linux.
- Avoid linking exclusively to Microsoft/Windows-specific resources for debugging; provide equivalent Linux/macOS guidance or links where possible.
