Summary
The documentation provides detailed PowerShell examples for obtaining OAuth tokens using the MSAL.PS module, which is Windows-centric. There are no equivalent examples for Linux/macOS users, such as using Bash, curl, or Python. The PowerShell approach is presented before any cross-platform alternatives, and the MSAL.PS module is not natively available on Linux/macOS. This creates friction for non-Windows users attempting to follow the authentication steps.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux/macOS examples using Bash, curl, or Python (e.g., using MSAL Python or direct REST calls).
- Explicitly mention cross-platform alternatives to PowerShell, such as Azure CLI, and provide sample commands.
- Reorder examples to present cross-platform tools (like Azure CLI) before Windows-specific tools.
- Clarify which tools are Windows-only and suggest alternatives for other platforms.
