Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only a PowerShell example for certificate creation, referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., ldp.exe), and instructing users to test network setup by joining a Windows VM and using Windows tools. There are no equivalent Linux examples or instructions for performing these tasks on Linux-based systems, despite HDInsight clusters often being Linux-based.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux command-line examples for certificate creation (e.g., using OpenSSL) alongside the PowerShell example.
  • Include instructions for testing network setup from a Linux VM, such as using 'ping', 'ldapsearch', or 'openssl s_client' for LDAPS connectivity.
  • Mention Linux tools and workflows (e.g., using 'nslookup', 'dig', or 'host' for DNS resolution) in parallel with Windows tools.
  • Avoid assuming the use of Windows VMs for validation steps; explicitly state that either Windows or Linux VMs can be used, and provide guidance for both.
  • Ensure that all critical configuration and validation steps are documented for both Windows and Linux environments to support cross-platform users.
