Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments, specifically Active Directory and Windows Server tools. All certificate management steps use Windows-only tools (certtmpl.msc, Internet Explorer, Windows certificate export wizard), and there are no Linux/macOS equivalents or alternatives provided. The prerequisites assume an Active Directory Forest and AD CS, which are not available on Linux. No cross-platform certificate generation or export instructions are given.
Recommendations
  • Provide instructions for generating and exporting certificates using cross-platform tools such as OpenSSL.
  • Include Linux/macOS alternatives for certificate requests and exports, e.g., using command-line tools or web browsers other than Internet Explorer.
  • Clarify whether Azure Firewall Premium supports certificates from non-AD CS PKI solutions and document the process for those.
  • Reorder examples so that cross-platform or generic methods appear before or alongside Windows-specific instructions.
  • Explicitly state Windows-only requirements and suggest alternatives for organizations using Linux-based PKI.
