Document Details

The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While the configuration steps are generally platform-agnostic (using Azure Portal, CLI, Bicep, ARM), the only detailed application code samples for direct certificate access and validation in .NET are for ASP.NET Core and ASP.NET Web Forms—both Windows-centric frameworks. There are no Linux-native web server (e.g., Nginx, Apache) configuration examples, nor are there any command-line examples for Linux (such as using OpenSSL or curl for testing mutual TLS). The documentation assumes the use of the X-ARR-ClientCert header, which is specific to Azure App Service's reverse proxy, but does not discuss how to set up or validate client certificates in a Linux-native environment outside of .NET or Node/Java/Python frameworks.
