Missing anchors linked from OIDC hardening

Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/how-tos/secure-your-work/security-harden-deployments/oidc-in-google-cloud-platform#prerequisites

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

Link from #prerequisites to "For more information, see OpenID Connect." includes #configuring-the-oidc-trust-with-the-cloud hash that seems to be missing in the target page. (Can't find an anchor/heading that would sound similar to the anchor id…)

Additional information

Same issue later on that page, https://docs.github.com/en/actions/how-tos/secure-your-work/security-harden-deployments/oidc-in-google-cloud-platform#adding-a-google-cloud-workload-identity-provider

  1. bullet:

both link to missing anchors, too

@janbrasna We just finished reorganizing Actions content and our bot for redirects didn't work as well as we might have hoped. Thanks for pointing these out.

In case you need those links, here's Configuring the subject in your cloud provider, and this might be the new heading for Configuring the OIDC trust with the cloud, but please feel free to let me know if that isn't it.

I'm going to point these out to the team so we can get redirects fixed. Again, thanks for flagging them.

Oh cool, I haven't tried to trace back any diffs to try to reconstruct any new URLs, but the links you posted seem to be spot on — thanks for these.

Given many of the hardening pages provider by provider are similar, chances are the same broken heading references would be in all the other pages on the same level, just FYI if anyone plans to sweep them all in one go.

@janbrasna Thanks for the heads up! You're right, at least some of the other links are broken. Definitely better to take care of them all at once than wait until someone can't find what they're looking for.
