Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a bias towards Windows environments by providing only a C# example using the Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens NuGet package (which is Windows/.NET-centric), and referencing CngKey and ECDsaCng, which are Windows-specific cryptography APIs. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users or for cross-platform tools/libraries (such as OpenSSL, Python, or Node.js). There is also no mention of how to generate the JWT client secret on Linux or macOS, nor are any cross-platform command-line examples provided.
Recommendations:
- Add examples for generating the client secret JWT using cross-platform tools such as OpenSSL, Python (e.g., PyJWT), or Node.js (e.g., jsonwebtoken).
- Explicitly mention and provide code snippets for Linux and macOS users, including how to handle the .p8 key file and sign JWTs.
- Avoid using Windows-specific APIs (like CngKey, ECDsaCng) in the only example, or at least provide alternatives for other platforms.
- List cross-platform libraries and tools before or alongside Windows/.NET options.
- Include a table or section comparing approaches for Windows, Linux, and macOS environments.
