Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias primarily by presenting .NET/ASP.NET (Windows-centric) code samples first and in greater detail, while not providing any explicit Linux-specific configuration or troubleshooting guidance. There are no examples or instructions for Linux command-line tools (such as Bash, OpenSSL, or curl) for certificate handling, nor is there any mention of Linux-specific behaviors or caveats. The focus on the X-ARR-ClientCert header and .NET-centric validation patterns further reinforces a Windows-oriented approach, even though App Service supports Linux hosting.
Recommendations:
- Add Linux-specific command-line examples (e.g., using Bash, OpenSSL, or curl) for uploading, validating, or troubleshooting client certificates.
- Include guidance or notes on differences in certificate handling between Windows and Linux App Service plans, if any.
- Provide parity in code samples by including examples for popular Linux-first frameworks (e.g., Nginx, Apache, or Kestrel on Linux) and how to access/validate client certificates in those environments.
- Explicitly mention that the provided instructions and code samples are cross-platform where applicable, or clarify any platform-specific limitations.
- Consider reordering or balancing the presentation of code samples so that Windows and Linux (or cross-platform) approaches are given equal prominence.
