Summary
The documentation is largely platform-neutral, focusing on XML configuration and SAML protocol details. However, in the 'Debug SAML protocol' section, the recommended tools for debugging SAML flows include browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox, but the only OS-specific developer tools mentioned are 'Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer developer tools', with a link to a Microsoft blog. There is no mention of Linux-native tools or command-line utilities for SAML debugging, and the order of mention puts Microsoft/Windows tools last but still includes them exclusively as the only OS-specific developer tool. No PowerShell or Windows command-line examples are present, but the lack of Linux-specific tool recommendations is a subtle form of Windows bias.
Recommendations
- Add recommendations for Linux-native SAML debugging tools, such as 'SAMLtool' (https://www.samltool.com/) or command-line utilities like 'curl' and 'xmlsec1' for inspecting and signing SAML messages.
- Mention that browser-based tools (Chrome/Firefox extensions) are cross-platform and highlight this fact for Linux and macOS users.
- If referencing developer tools, include instructions or links for using browser developer tools on Linux and macOS, not just Microsoft Edge/IE.
- Consider including a note that all XML configuration steps are OS-agnostic and can be performed on any platform.
- If any scripts or automation are added in the future, provide both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (bash/shell) examples.
