Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: authentication options and examples prioritize Windows (Kerberos/Windows authentication) and Windows-specific tools (Ksetup, netdom), with command-line examples and configuration steps focused on Windows environments. Linux equivalents or instructions are either missing or only briefly mentioned, and Windows terminology is used as the default throughout.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux-based setup instructions for Kerberos authentication, including commands for joining a Linux host to a Kerberos realm and configuring krb5.conf.
  • Include Linux shell command examples (e.g., kinit, klist, editing /etc/krb5.conf) alongside or before Windows command examples.
  • Clarify that 'Windows authentication' refers to Kerberos authentication and explain how it maps to Linux/Unix environments.
  • Add explicit guidance for configuring the self-hosted integration runtime on Linux hosts, if supported.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux/Unix approaches are described before or alongside Windows approaches, rather than after.
  • Reference Linux-native tools and patterns (such as MIT Kerberos utilities) wherever Windows tools (Ksetup, netdom) are mentioned.
