Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. It references Windows-specific certificate export defaults (3DES from Windows 10/Server 2016), the Microsoft RSA/Schannel Cryptographic Provider (Windows-only), and recommends certificate creation via Azure PowerShell cmdlets and the Azure Stack Hub Readiness Checker tool (both Windows-centric). There are no Linux/macOS certificate management examples, nor are cross-platform alternatives mentioned. This creates friction for non-Windows users attempting to follow the guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent certificate creation and export instructions for Linux/macOS using OpenSSL or other native tools.
- Clarify whether the Microsoft RSA/Schannel Cryptographic Provider requirement is strictly necessary, or if certificates generated on Linux/macOS are compatible.
- List cross-platform methods for exporting PFX certificates with the required attributes (chain, encryption, key usage).
- Include Linux/macOS command-line examples alongside PowerShell examples.
- Mention alternative tools for certificate readiness checking that work on non-Windows platforms, if available.
