Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Active Directory (a Windows-centric technology) in both order and detail, providing Windows-style username formats (DOMAIN\user), and referencing Windows authentication patterns without equivalent Linux-focused examples. While LDAP and Entra ID are mentioned, there is a lack of explicit Linux authentication scenarios, examples, or command-line instructions (e.g., for Linux PAM, SSH integration, or Linux user mapping). The only mention of Linux is in the context of SSH keys for cluster nodes, but this is not given the same prominence or step-by-step detail as the Windows/AD sections.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit Linux authentication examples, such as integrating with Linux PAM, local /etc/passwd, or SSSD.
- Provide step-by-step instructions for configuring LDAP authentication from a Linux client perspective, including sample Linux user formats and command-line tools.
- Include Linux username formats (e.g., user@domain.com, uid-based logins) alongside Windows formats in all relevant sections.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux/LDAP authentication is described with equal prominence and detail as Active Directory.
- Reference Linux tools (e.g., ldapsearch, kinit, ssh) and provide troubleshooting steps for Linux environments.
- Clarify that CycleCloud supports both Windows and Linux authentication scenarios equally, and provide parity in screenshots and configuration walkthroughs.
