AWS powershell documentation change
Summary
Updated two links: Active Directory Federation Services link to a current Microsoft Learn page and SAML Technical Specifications link to a current OASIS page with HTTPS
Security assessment
These changes update outdated URLs to current ones. The AD FS link now points to official Microsoft documentation, and the SAML link now uses HTTPS. While HTTPS provides encryption in transit, there's no concrete evidence this addresses a specific security vulnerability. This appears to be routine documentation maintenance to ensure links are current and functional.
