Project Structure:



Project Dependency(pom.xml):

A Project Object Model or POM is the fundamental unit of work in Maven. It is an XML file that contains information about the project and configuration details utilized by Maven to build the project. It contains default values for most projects. Some of the configurations that can be designated in the POM is the project dependencies, the plugins or goals that can be executed, the build profiles, and so on. Other information such as the project version, description, developers, mailing lists, and such can withal be designated.

Enable Okta Sign-in (Spring Magic):

okta:
oauth2:
issuer: https://<domain>/oauth2/default
client-secret: <client-secret>
client-id: <client-id>
spring:
thymeleaf:
cache: 'false'

WebController:

package com.knf.dev.demo.controller;

import java.security.Principal;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;

@Controller
public class WebController {

@GetMapping("/")
public String index(Principal principal) {
return "index";
}
}


Main class:

package com.knf.dev.demo;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringOauth2OktaApplication {

public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(SpringOauth2OktaApplication.class, args);
}
}
The @SpringBootApplication annotation is a convenience annotation that combines the @EnableAutoConfiguration, @Configuration and the @ComponentScan annotations.
