Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing exclusively on Microsoft-centric authentication libraries (MSAL, Microsoft.Identity.Web) and ASP.NET Core, which are most commonly associated with Windows development environments. There is repeated mention of Visual Studio and IDE integration, but no mention of Linux development tools, frameworks, or parity in local development scenarios. No Linux-specific examples, tools, or workflows are provided, and the documentation implicitly assumes a Windows/Visual Studio/ASP.NET Core context for advanced scenarios.
Recommendations:
- Include examples and guidance for Linux-based development environments, such as using VS Code, JetBrains Rider, or command-line workflows.
- Highlight cross-platform compatibility of authentication libraries and provide explicit instructions for Linux and macOS users.
- Mention and link to documentation for configuring authentication in popular Linux web frameworks (e.g., Node.js/Express, Python/Flask or Django, Java/Spring Boot) when discussing code-based solutions.
- Clarify that App Service authentication features are available regardless of the underlying OS and provide parity tables or notes where features differ.
- Add local development setup instructions for Linux (and macOS) environments, including how to achieve single sign-on or local testing without Visual Studio.
