It is not supported https://github.com/PowerShell/psl-omi-provider#connecting-from-linux-to-windows
Although this should not fall in "Segmentation fault" - "Platform is not supported" user friendly message is expected.

Thx for your answer,

reading the Microsoft documentation https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_remote_requirements?view=powershell-6, the "Basic Authentication Limitations on Linux and macOS
" chapter actually highlights NTLM as an alternative to https with basic auth.
Is this documentation obsolete ?

Thx

We should fix the crash and return a better error message. I believe NTLM and Kerberos is not supported on macOS due to unavailability of required libraries. The doc should be updated.
