Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows-centric bias by consistently referencing Windows authentication technologies (Active Directory Domain Services, Kerberos, DACLs) and patterns first, with only brief mention of Linux support. Windows tools and terminology are used throughout, and there are no Linux-specific examples or guidance. The only reference to Linux is a parenthetical link, with no parity in explanation or workflow details.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux client examples and workflows for identity-based authentication with Azure Files over SMB, including step-by-step instructions and troubleshooting tips.
- Include Linux tools and commands (e.g., mount.cifs, Kerberos configuration on Linux, relevant package requirements) alongside or before Windows equivalents where appropriate.
- Balance terminology and explanations by referencing both Windows and Linux authentication mechanisms, and clarify any differences or limitations.
- Provide links to Linux-focused documentation in the main body, not just as a parenthetical note.
- Where diagrams or workflows are shown, include Linux client scenarios and architecture.
- Ensure glossary entries and references are not exclusively Windows-focused (e.g., mention Linux Kerberos implementations, Samba, etc.).
