Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias in several ways. Windows authentication is listed as a built-in option alongside Basic, Digest, and ClientCertificate, with no mention of Linux equivalents (such as Kerberos or NTLM via Linux tools). The only tool explicitly recommended for testing HTTP requests is PowerShell's Invoke-RestMethod, with no mention of Linux-native tools like curl or wget. Instructions for certificate management and permissions are entirely based on Windows tools (MMC, cert store, DIAHostService), with no guidance for Linux certificate stores or service accounts. These patterns prioritize Windows tooling and workflows, and omit Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-native tools (e.g., curl, wget) alongside PowerShell for HTTP request testing.
- Add guidance for managing certificates and permissions on Linux self-hosted integration runtime hosts, such as using OpenSSL and Linux certificate stores.
- Clarify authentication options for Linux hosts, including how to use Basic, Digest, or client certificates in a Linux environment.
- Where Windows-specific instructions are given (e.g., MMC, DIAHostService), provide Linux equivalents or note platform differences.
- Explicitly state platform support and limitations for authentication types (e.g., Windows authentication only available on Windows hosts).
