Summary:
The documentation provides detailed PowerShell/MSAL.PS examples for obtaining OAuth tokens, but does not include equivalent Linux-native or cross-platform command-line examples (e.g., curl, Python, or bash). The focus on PowerShell and the MSAL.PS module, which is Windows-centric, may disadvantage Linux or macOS users. There is also a lack of explicit Linux or cross-platform guidance for authentication flows.
Recommendations:
- Add examples using curl or HTTPie to demonstrate how to obtain OAuth tokens from the command line on Linux/macOS.
- Include a Python example using MSAL or requests to show cross-platform programmatic authentication.
- Explicitly mention that Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide more detailed CLI-based authentication flows.
- Where PowerShell is used, provide equivalent bash or shell script examples for Linux users.
- Review all sections for Windows-specific terminology or tool references and ensure Linux alternatives are presented with equal prominence.
