Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, primarily by presenting .NET/ASP.NET (Windows-centric) code samples first and in greater detail, while not providing any explicit Linux shell (bash) or OpenSSL command-line examples for certificate handling or validation. The focus is on Azure portal, Azure CLI, Bicep, and ARM templates for configuration, which are cross-platform, but the application code samples are heavily weighted toward Windows technologies. There are no examples of using Linux-native tools or patterns for mutual TLS setup or troubleshooting.
Recommendations:
- Add Linux shell (bash) and OpenSSL command-line examples for generating, inspecting, and validating client certificates, as these are common on Linux systems.
- Include explicit instructions or examples for configuring mutual TLS in popular Linux web servers (e.g., Nginx, Apache) when running on Azure App Service for Linux.
- Balance the order of code samples by presenting cross-platform or Linux-first examples (such as Node.js, Python, or Java) before or alongside Windows/.NET examples.
- Mention Linux-native troubleshooting tools (e.g., curl, openssl s_client) for verifying mutual TLS connections.
- Clarify that the provided code samples are applicable to both Windows and Linux App Service plans, or note any platform-specific differences.
