Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias in the 'Private client certificate (per-app configuration)' section. This method is explicitly limited to Windows code apps, with no Linux equivalent or workaround provided. All example commands for certificate verification and generation use PowerShell, and the Kudu console instructions are Windows-specific. There are no Linux shell or cross-platform alternatives for these steps, and the documentation does not mention how Linux users could achieve similar functionality. While the recommended Root Certificate API is cross-platform, the alternative method and its examples are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Clearly state Linux limitations earlier and more prominently in the relevant sections.
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for certificate verification (e.g., using OpenSSL or Bash commands).
- Offer guidance or workarounds for Linux users who need per-app certificate configuration, or clarify that this is not possible.
- Include cross-platform examples for generating and exporting certificates, not just PowerShell.
- Add links or references to Linux documentation for certificate management in App Service Environment.
