Summary
The documentation exhibits a mild Windows bias. Windows authentication is explicitly supported and documented, with an example provided, but there is no mention of Linux authentication equivalents (such as Kerberos or NTLM from a Linux host). The authentication examples and property tables list 'Windows' authentication as a primary option, but do not clarify cross-platform support or limitations. Additionally, the instructions for obtaining tenant information reference a Windows-centric UI pattern (hovering in the Azure portal), and no Linux command-line or open-source tool alternatives are mentioned. The only external tool referenced is Postman, which is cross-platform, but there are no CLI or Linux-native alternatives suggested for obtaining OAuth tokens.
Recommendations
  • Clarify whether 'Windows' authentication is supported from non-Windows/self-hosted integration runtimes running on Linux, and document any limitations.
  • If 'Windows' authentication is only supported on Windows hosts, explicitly state this and provide alternative authentication methods for Linux users.
  • Include examples or references for obtaining OAuth tokens using cross-platform tools (e.g., curl, httpie, Azure CLI) in addition to Postman.
  • When referencing UI actions (like retrieving tenant info), provide equivalent CLI or cross-platform instructions.
  • If Linux-specific configuration or troubleshooting steps exist for OData connectors, include them to ensure parity.
