Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. Certificate export instructions reference Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 as defaults, and the Microsoft RSA/Schannel Cryptographic Provider is Windows-specific. The Next Steps section only mentions Azure PowerShell cmdlets and the Azure Stack Hub Readiness Checker tool, both of which are primarily Windows-centric. There are no examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users regarding certificate creation, export, or provider compatibility.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions and examples for certificate creation and export using Linux/macOS tools (e.g., OpenSSL).
- Clarify whether the Microsoft RSA/Schannel Cryptographic Provider requirement is strictly necessary, or provide alternatives for non-Windows platforms.
- Include parity in Next Steps, such as links to Linux/macOS certificate generation guides.
- Document how to set required certificate attributes (e.g., local machine key attribute) on non-Windows systems.
- Mention cross-platform tools and workflows where possible, not just Windows defaults.
