Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All certificate management steps rely on Windows-specific tools (certtmpl.msc, Internet Explorer, Internet Options, Windows certificate export wizard), and the prerequisites assume Active Directory and AD CS, which are Windows-only. No Linux/macOS alternatives or examples are provided for certificate creation, request, or export, making it difficult for non-Windows users to follow the guide.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent steps for Linux/macOS environments, such as using OpenSSL for certificate creation and export.
- Include instructions for requesting certificates from AD CS using certreq.exe (which can run on Windows clients) and/or via REST APIs, and clarify if/how Linux clients can interact with AD CS.
- Offer guidance for environments without Active Directory, such as using a non-Microsoft PKI or third-party CA.
- Add examples for exporting certificates using cross-platform tools (e.g., OpenSSL, certutil on Linux).
- Reorder examples so that Windows and Linux/macOS instructions are presented with equal prominence.
