I am trying to implement Okta openId() to an old system running on spring boot 1.5 , I have used okta stater 0.6.0 .  
I was trying to use oauth2Login but it seems the method is not available ?  
Can any one help me how to redirect my application to okta login page ?  
can we use oauth2Login() with spring boot 1.5 ?

You might have to to use `@EnableOAuth2Sso`. [Add User Authentication to Your Spring Boot App in 15 Minutes | Okta Developer](https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/10/05/build-a-spring-boot-app-with-user-authentication)

Note: our Spring Boot Starter v0.6.0 is no longer officially supported by Okta. See our release status table for more information: [GitHub - okta/okta-spring-boot: Okta Spring Boot Starter](https://github.com/okta/okta-spring-boot#release-status).

No, `oauth2Login()` is not available in the version of Spring Security you’re using. Here’s the code from the blog post I referenced above.

```java
@EnableOAuth2Sso  
@Configuration  
public class SpringSecurityWebAppConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {  
  
    @Override  
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {  
        http.authorizeRequests()  
            .antMatchers("/").permitAll()  
            .antMatchers("/img/**").permitAll()  
            .anyRequest().authenticated();  
    }  
      
}

```
