Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias: all administrative steps for configuring AD FS are described using Windows-only tools such as Server Manager, AD FS Management snap-in, Event Viewer, and PowerShell cmdlets. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives or notes, and Windows-specific patterns are always presented first and exclusively. Troubleshooting and configuration guidance assumes a Windows environment throughout.
Recommendations
- Explicitly note that AD FS is a Windows Server technology and clarify platform requirements early in the documentation.
- Where possible, provide equivalent SAML identity provider configuration steps for common Linux-based SAML providers (e.g., Shibboleth, SimpleSAMLphp) or link to relevant guides.
- For certificate creation and management, include Linux/OpenSSL command-line examples alongside any Windows-specific instructions.
- For troubleshooting, suggest generic SAML troubleshooting tools (such as SAML-tracer browser extension, or logs from Linux SAML IdPs) in addition to Windows Event Viewer.
- If PowerShell is required, clarify that these steps are only for AD FS on Windows, and suggest alternative approaches for non-Windows environments where feasible.
- Consider adding a section or links for users who wish to integrate with non-Windows SAML providers, outlining the differences and additional considerations.
