windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, particularly in the application code samples and terminology. The .NET/ASP.NET (Windows-centric) examples are presented first and in greater detail, with explicit references to Windows-specific properties and patterns. There is a lack of Linux shell or OpenSSL command-line examples for certificate management, and the documentation assumes the use of Azure Cloud Shell (which is cross-platform but often defaults to PowerShell). The focus on .NET and Windows-native certificate handling precedes or outweighs coverage of Linux-native approaches.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit Linux command-line examples (e.g., using bash and OpenSSL) for generating, inspecting, and handling client certificates.
- Include examples for configuring mutual TLS in popular Linux web servers (such as Nginx and Apache) in addition to .NET/ASP.NET.
- Clarify that the Azure CLI can be used from any platform, and provide bash/zsh syntax where appropriate.
- Balance the order of code samples so that Linux-friendly stacks (Node.js, Python, Java) are not always after Windows/.NET examples.
- Mention Linux-native certificate stores and tools (such as update-ca-certificates, certutil, or OpenSSL) where relevant.
- Where possible, provide parity in troubleshooting and validation steps for both Windows and Linux environments.
