AWS cognito: Fix broken links in adaptive authentication docs

Service: cognito · 2026-10-09 · Documentation low

File: cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-user-pool-settings-adaptive-authentication.md

Summary

Updated two cross-reference URLs: the app client configuration link now points to user-pool-settings-client-apps.html, and the SDK install link now points to cognito-integrate-apps.html. No content or guidance changed.

Security assessment

The only change is a corrected hyperlink target for app client configuration; the surrounding adaptive authentication guidance (device fingerprinting, secret hash, IPaddress validation) is unchanged, so this is a documentation maintenance edit with no new security content.

-When you design your app to use adaptive authentication, we recommend that you incorporate the latest Amazon Cognito SDK into your app.. The latest version of the SDK collects device fingerprinting information like device ID, model, and time zone. For more information about Amazon Cognito SDKs, see [Install a user pool SDK](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/user-pool-sdk-links.html). Amazon Cognito threat protection only saves and assigns a risk score to events that your app submits in the correct format. If Amazon Cognito returns an error response, check that your request includes a valid secret hash and that the `IPaddress` parameter is a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address.
