Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All certificate export steps are described using Windows GUI tools (Certificate Manager and Certificate Export Wizard), with screenshots and instructions specific to Windows. There are no equivalent instructions or screenshots for performing these tasks on Linux (e.g., using OpenSSL or command-line tools). The only Linux-specific content is a single 'cat' command for concatenating certificates, which is presented after the Windows 'type' command. The prerequisites, export, and certificate management sections omit Linux approaches entirely.
Recommendations:
- Add parallel Linux instructions for exporting certificates, using OpenSSL or similar command-line tools, including example commands and expected outputs.
- Provide Linux-specific screenshots or terminal outputs where appropriate.
- Present Windows and Linux instructions side-by-side or clearly label them, rather than defaulting to Windows-first.
- Include a section or note on how to locate and manage certificates on Linux systems.
- Avoid referencing Windows-only tools (like Certificate Export Wizard) without Linux alternatives.
- Ensure parity in detail and clarity between Windows and Linux instructions throughout the documentation.
