Summary:
The documentation page shows a subtle Windows bias: it mentions 'IBM Informix for Windows running in Azure virtualization' as a cloud-based example before any mention of Linux, and references 'Windows (kerberos)' as an authentication type without clarifying Linux support. There are no explicit Linux examples or references to Linux-specific tools or authentication patterns, and the documentation does not clarify whether the on-premises data gateway or Informix connector works equally well on Linux systems.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly mention support for Linux-based Informix servers, both on-premises and in the cloud, alongside or before Windows examples.
- Provide example connection strings and authentication patterns for Linux Informix deployments.
- Clarify whether the on-premises data gateway can be installed and used on Linux hosts, and provide installation instructions if supported.
- If authentication methods differ on Linux (e.g., Kerberos on Linux), document these options and provide guidance.
- Include screenshots or walkthroughs that reference Linux environments, not just Windows.
- Avoid listing Windows as the only or first example when describing supported platforms.
