Summary
The documentation provides detailed PowerShell examples using the MSAL.PS module for obtaining authorization tokens, but does not offer equivalent Linux/macOS command-line examples (such as curl, Python, or bash). The PowerShell section is extensive and appears before any mention of cross-platform alternatives. The Azure CLI example is brief and lacks context or parity with the PowerShell coverage. There is no mention of Linux-native tools or workflows for authentication, which may hinder Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux/macOS examples using curl, Python (requests + MSAL), or bash scripts for obtaining OAuth tokens.
- Expand the Azure CLI section to cover all authentication scenarios shown in PowerShell (user credentials, device code, app credentials).
- Clearly indicate which examples are cross-platform and which are Windows-specific.
- Consider including links to official MSAL libraries for Python, Java, or Node.js, with sample code for token acquisition.
- Present Azure CLI and cross-platform examples before or alongside PowerShell examples to avoid Windows-first bias.
