Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. It provides only PowerShell commands for certificate management and testing, references Windows-specific certificate stores (Cert:\LocalMachine\Root), and explicitly states that private client certificates are only supported from custom code in Windows code apps. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, and Linux scenarios are not addressed.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux/Bash examples for certificate creation (e.g., using openssl) and certificate management.
- Clarify support for Linux-based App Service apps, including any limitations or alternative approaches.
- Include instructions for accessing and managing certificates on Linux-based workers (e.g., using Kudu Bash console, Linux file paths).
- Mention Linux tools (such as openssl) alongside PowerShell, and avoid presenting Windows tools first or exclusively.
- Explicitly state platform limitations at the beginning of relevant sections, and offer guidance or workarounds for Linux users where possible.
