Summary

Updated terminology from 'AWS Directory Service' to 'Directory Service', adjusted console references, and fixed URL formatting in CLI installation link.

Security assessment

Changes are limited to branding consistency (removing redundant 'AWS' qualifiers) and URL formatting. The core security content about password reset permissions and procedures remains unchanged. No evidence of addressing vulnerabilities or adding new security capabilities.
