Hi @knutago and @rra, we’ve recently had a fairly large restructuring of our managed environments. This has meant that we need to **update** the return url for **our exisiting registered client** like so:  
Requested Client Name: uoapool-vera-rubin  
A short name for our IDAC: IDAC UOA Vera Rubin  
redirect\_uri: [https://vera-rubin.auth.ap-southeast-2.amazoncognito.com/oauth2/idpresponse](https://vera-rubin.auth.ap-southeast-2.amazoncognito.com/oauth2/idpresponse)

The previous request for a new client can be ignored. Please let me know if you need any more information from us.
