Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows/Active Directory bias. All configuration and indexing examples are exclusively based on Microsoft Active Directory, with detailed instructions and screenshots for Windows tools (ADSI Edit). There are no examples or guidance for equivalent LDAP schema/indexing management on Linux-based LDAP servers (such as OpenLDAP). The terminology and attribute mapping tables are also oriented toward Active Directory defaults, and Linux/UNIX LDAP server administration is not addressed.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent examples and instructions for managing LDAP schemas and attribute indexing in common Linux LDAP servers (e.g., OpenLDAP), including command-line and configuration file methods.
- Provide screenshots or code snippets for Linux tools (such as ldapmodify, slapd.conf, or LDIF files) to illustrate how to index attributes like uid and uidNumber.
- Reorganize sections to present both Windows and Linux approaches in parallel, or clearly indicate when content is specific to Active Directory.
- Expand the attribute mapping table to clarify which attributes are standard across LDAP implementations and which are specific to Active Directory.
- Include a section discussing differences and best practices for both Windows and Linux LDAP environments, especially for organizations using non-AD LDAP servers.
