Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows Server Active Directory as the LDAP identity source, requiring Windows-specific infrastructure (domain controllers, AD Certificate Services), and omitting any examples or guidance for integrating with non-Windows LDAP servers (such as OpenLDAP on Linux). All terminology, screenshots, and instructions are centered around Windows environments, with no mention of Linux-based alternatives or parity.
Recommendations:
- Include parallel instructions and examples for integrating with common Linux-based LDAP servers (e.g., OpenLDAP), including configuration steps and screenshots where possible.
- Generalize terminology where possible (e.g., 'LDAP server' instead of always 'Windows Server Active Directory'), and clarify that non-Windows LDAP sources are supported.
- Provide guidance on certificate management for Linux LDAP servers, such as using OpenSSL or other Linux CA tools, not just Windows AD CS.
- Add troubleshooting tips and best practices relevant to Linux LDAP deployments.
- Ensure that prerequisites and network requirements are described in a platform-agnostic way, or provide both Windows and Linux variants.
