Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All command-line examples for certificate generation, export, and registry modification use PowerShell and Windows-specific tools and paths. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents provided for certificate creation (e.g., OpenSSL), certificate installation, or registry/configuration updates. The instructions for installing certificates and updating registry values are Windows-centric, assuming the appliance runs on Windows and uses Windows Registry. Linux tools are only mentioned in passing, with no actionable guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux/macOS instructions for certificate generation and export using OpenSSL or mkcert.
- Include steps for installing certificates on Linux-based appliance machines (e.g., using openssl, update-ca-certificates, or keytool).
- Clarify how appliance configuration should be updated on Linux (e.g., via config files or environment variables instead of Windows Registry).
- Offer platform detection guidance to help users follow the correct steps for their OS.
- Present examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS side-by-side or in separate sections.
