Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All code examples and automation scripts are provided in PowerShell, with no Linux shell or cross-platform alternatives. The setup process relies on Windows-specific tools (such as Internet Information Server (IIS), PowerShell scripts, and .msi installers), and references to Windows Remote Desktop Services are predominant. There are no instructions or examples for configuring or accessing the gateway from Linux or macOS clients, nor are there alternatives for Linux-based gateway hosts. The only mention of cross-platform access is a brief reference to Azure Bastion, but the main flow is Windows-centric.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Bash/CLI examples for certificate creation, file encoding, and deployment steps, so Linux and macOS users can follow along.
- Include instructions for connecting to the remote desktop gateway from Linux and macOS clients (e.g., using FreeRDP, Remmina, or rdesktop).
- Document whether Linux-based gateway hosts are supported, and if so, provide setup instructions using open-source RDP gateway solutions.
- Mention and, if possible, provide automation scripts in cross-platform languages (e.g., Python, Bash) in addition to PowerShell.
- Clarify any Windows-only requirements early in the documentation, and suggest Azure Bastion or other cross-platform alternatives more prominently for non-Windows users.
